Psalms 4
1 For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness; give me room when I am hemmed in. Have mercy on me and listen to my prayer.
In finem in carminibus, Psalmus David. Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiæ meæ: in tribulatione dilatasti mihi. Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam. Filii hominum usquequo gravi corde? ut quid diligitis vanitatem, et quæritis mendacium?
2 You people, how long will you turn my honor into shame? How long will you love that which is worthless and seek after lies? (Selah)
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum: Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 But know that Yahweh sets apart the godly for himself. Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare: quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 Tremble in fear, but do not sin! Meditate in your heart on your bed and be silent. (Selah)
Sacrificate sacrificium iustitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in Yahweh.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
6 Many say, “Who will show us anything good?” Yahweh, lift up the light of your face on us.
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui multiplicati sunt.
7 You have given my heart more gladness than others have when their grain and new wine abound.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 It is in peace that I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me safe and secure.
Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me.
