Psalms 4

1Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David.

2When 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.

3O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?

4Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.

5Be angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.

6Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say, Who sheweth us good things?

7The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast given gladness in my heart.

8By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, they are multiplied.

9In peace in the selfsame I will sleep, and I will rest:

10For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.

1In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David.

2[Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus justitiæ meæ, in tribulatione dilatasti mihi. Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam.

3Filii hominum, usquequo gravi corde? ut quid diligitis vanitatem, et quæritis mendacium?

4Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum; Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.

5Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.

6Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?

7Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.

8A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.

9In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;

10quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.]

1In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David.

2When I called upon him, the God of my justice heeded me. In tribulation, you have enlarged me. Have mercy on me, and heed my prayer.

3Sons of men, how long will you be dull in heart, so that whatever you love is in vain, and whatever you seek is false?

4And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.

5Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds.

6Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”

7The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.

8By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.

9In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest.

10For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
