Psalms 4
1 `To the victorie in orguns; the salm of Dauid. Whanne Y inwardli clepid, God of my riytwisnesse herde me; in tribulacioun thou hast alargid to me.
Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and sh'ma ·hear obey· my prayer.
2 Haue thou mercy on me; and here thou my preier. Sones of men, hou long ben ye of heuy herte? whi louen ye vanite, and seken a leesyng?
You sons of men, how long shall my kavod ·weighty glory· be turned into dishonor? Will you 'ahav ·affectionately love· vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
3 And wite ye, that the Lord hath maad merueilous his hooli man; the Lord schal here me, whanne Y schal crye to hym.
But know that Adonai has set apart for himself him who is godly: Adonai will sh'ma ·hear obey· when I call to him.
4 Be ye wrothe, and nyle ye do synne; `and for tho thingis whiche ye seien in youre hertis and in youre beddis, be ye compunct.
You can be angry, but don’t sin ·err (from the standard goal)·. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
5 Sacrifie ye `the sacrifice of riytfulnesse, and hope ye in the Lord; many seien, Who schewide goodis to vs?
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Adonai.
6 Lord, the liyt of thi cheer is markid on vs; thou hast youe gladnesse in myn herte.
Many say, “Who will show us any good?” Adonai, let the light of your face shine on us.
7 Thei ben multiplied of the fruit of whete, and of wyn; and of her oile.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8 In pees in the same thing; Y schal slepe, and take reste. For thou, Lord; hast set me syngulerli in hope.
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Adonai alone, make me live in safety.
