Psalmus 4

Psalm 4

1 In finem in carminibus Psalmus David 1 Unto the end, in verses. A psalm of David.
2 Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiae meae in tribulatione dilatasti mihi miserere mei et exaudi orationem meam 2 When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me. Have mercy on me: and hear my prayer.
3 Filii hominum usquequo gravi corde ut quid diligitis vanitatem et quaeritis mendacium 3 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
4 Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum 4 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
5 Irascimini et nolite peccare quae dicitis in cordibus vestris in cubilibus vestris compungimini 5 Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.
6 Sacrificate sacrificium iustitiae et sperate in Domino multi dicunt quis ostendit nobis bona 6 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?
7 Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine dedisti laetitiam in corde meo 7 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.
8 A fructu frumenti vini et olei sui multiplicati sunt 8 By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.
9 In pace in idipsum dormiam et requiescam 9 In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest:
10 Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me 10 for thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
