Psalmorum 4
1 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?
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.
2 Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum; Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? (Selah)
3 Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
4 Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.
6 A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.
There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.]
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
