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?
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.
2 Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum; Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?
3 Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.
4 Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still.
5 Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
6 A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.
Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
7 In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
8 quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
