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 Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.] Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. You set me free in my distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum; Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
3 Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
But know that the LORD works wonders for his godly one; the LORD will hear when I call to him.
4 Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (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.
Many say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, lift up the light of your face upon us.
7 In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
8 quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
