< Psalms 4 >
1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me [when I was] in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Psalmus cantici David, in finem. Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiae meae: in tribulatione dilatasti mihi. Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam. Filii hominum usquequo gravi corde? ut quid diligitis vanitatem, et quaeritis mendacium?
2 O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after falsehood? (Selah)
Scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum: Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare: quae dicitis in cordibus vestris, et in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Sacrificate sacrificium iustitiae, et sperate in Domino. multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine: dedisti laetitiam in corde meo.
6 [There are] many that say, Who will show us [any] good? LORD, lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance.
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui multiplicati sunt.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time [when] their corn and their wine increased.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for thou only, LORD, makest me dwell in safety.
Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me.
