Psalmorum 4
1 Psalmus cantici David, in finem. Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiae meae: in tribulatione dilatasti mihi. Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam. Filii hominum usquequo gravi corde? ut quid diligitis vanitatem, et quaeritis mendacium?
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large [when I was] in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 Scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum: Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? [How long] will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
3 Irascimini, et nolite peccare: quae dicitis in cordibus vestris, et in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.
4 Sacrificate sacrificium iustitiae, et sperate in Domino. multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine: dedisti laetitiam in corde meo.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah.
6 A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui multiplicati sunt.
Many there are that say, Who will show us [any] good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than [they have] when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8 Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me.
In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.
