Psalmorum 4
1 in finem in carminibus psalmus David 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 diapsalma
“For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear me, when I call, O God of my righteousness! Thou hast helped me, when I was in trouble, —Have pity upon me, and hear my prayer!
2 et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum
How long, O men! will ye dishonor my dignity? How long will ye love vanity, and seek disappointment? (Pause)
3 irascimini et nolite peccare quae dicitis in cordibus vestris in cubilibus vestris conpungimini diapsalma
Know ye that the LORD hath exalted one that is devoted to him; The LORD will hear, when I call upon him.
4 sacrificate sacrificium iustitiae et sperate in Domino multi dicunt quis ostendet nobis bona
Stand in awe, and sin no more; Commune with your hearts upon your beds, and desist! (Pause)
5 signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine dedisti laetitiam in corde meo
Offer sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD!
6 a fructu frumenti et vini et olei sui multiplicati sunt
There are many who say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us!
7 in pace in id ipsum dormiam et requiescam
Thou puttest gladness into my heart, Greater than theirs, when their corn and wine are abundant.
8 quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me
I will lay me down in peace, and sleep: For thou alone, O LORD! makest me dwell in safety.
