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 by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2 Scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum: Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you 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 Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly; Yahweh will hear when I call to him.
4 Sacrificate sacrificium iustitiae, et sperate in Domino. multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on 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. Put your trust in Yahweh.
6 A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui multiplicati sunt.
Many say, “Who will show us any good?” Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.
7 In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
8 Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me.
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety.
