< Psalms 4 >

1 For the End, a Song of David among [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: thou hast made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to my prayer.
In finem in carminibus, Psalmus David. Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiæ meæ: in tribulatione dilatasti mihi. Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam. Filii hominum usquequo gravi corde? ut quid diligitis vanitatem, et quæritis mendacium?
2 O ye sons of men, how long [will ye be] slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum: Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare: quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts. (Pause)
Sacrificate sacrificium iustitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
6 Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui multiplicati sunt.
7 Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast caused me to dwell securely.
Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me.
