Psalms 4
1 To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. — A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour 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 Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain thing, ye seek a lie. (Selah)
Scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum: Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare: quae dicitis in cordibus vestris, et in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 'Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. (Selah)
Sacrificate sacrificium iustitiae, et sperate in Domino. multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
5 Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto Jehovah.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine: dedisti laetitiam in corde meo.
6 Many are saying, 'Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui multiplicati sunt.
7 Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah, alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell!
Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me.
