Psalms 4
1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David. Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus justitiæ 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 sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonour? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum; Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
6 Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.
