Psalmorum 4
1 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?
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.
2 Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum: Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
O ye sons of men, how long [will ye be] slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
3 Irascimini, et nolite peccare: quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
4 Sacrificate sacrificium iustitiæ, et sperate in Domino. multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts. (Pause)
5 Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
6 A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui multiplicati sunt.
Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
7 In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
8 Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me.
I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast caused me to dwell securely.
