< 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?
`To the victorie in orguns; the salm of Dauid. Whanne Y inwardli clepid, God of my riytwisnesse herde me; in tribulacioun thou hast alargid to me.
2 Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum; Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
Haue thou mercy on me; and here thou my preier. Sones of men, hou long ben ye of heuy herte? whi louen ye vanite, and seken a leesyng?
3 Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
And wite ye, that the Lord hath maad merueilous his hooli man; the Lord schal here me, whanne Y schal crye to hym.
4 Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
Be ye wrothe, and nyle ye do synne; `and for tho thingis whiche ye seien in youre hertis and in youre beddis, be ye compunct.
5 Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
Sacrifie ye `the sacrifice of riytfulnesse, and hope ye in the Lord; many seien, Who schewide goodis to vs?
6 A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.
Lord, the liyt of thi cheer is markid on vs; thou hast youe gladnesse in myn herte.
7 In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
Thei ben multiplied of the fruit of whete, and of wyn; and of her oile.
8 quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.
In pees in the same thing; Y schal slepe, and take reste. For thou, Lord; hast set me syngulerli in hope.
