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