< Psalmorum 4 >
1 In finem in carminibus, Psalmus David. Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiæ meæ: in tribulatione dilatasti mihi. Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam. Filii hominum usquequo gravi corde? ut quid diligitis vanitatem, et quæritis mendacium?
To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare me when I call, O God of my righteousnes: thou hast set me at libertie, when I was in distresse: haue mercie vpon me and hearken vnto my prayer.
2 Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum: Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
O ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? (Selah)
3 Irascimini, et nolite peccare: quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himselfe a godly man: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him.
4 Sacrificate sacrificium iustitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.
6 A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui multiplicati sunt.
Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
7 In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
8 Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me.
I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
