Salmos 4

1Al maestro de música. Para instrumentos de cuerda. Salmo de David.

2Cuando te invoque, óyeme ¡oh Dios de mi justicia! Tú, que en la tribulación me levantaste, ten misericordia de mí, y acoge mi súplica.

3Hijos de hombres ¿hasta cuándo seréis insensatos? ¿Por qué amáis la vanidad y buscáis lo que es mentira?

4Sabed que Yahvé favorece maravillosamente al santo suyo; cuando le invoco, Yahvé me oye.

5Temblad, y no queráis pecar; dentro de vuestros corazones, en vuestros lechos, recapacitad y enmudeced.

6Ofreced sacrificios de justicia, y esperad en Yahvé.

7Muchos dicen: “¿Quién nos mostrará los bienes?” Alza Tú sobre nosotros la luz de tu rostro, oh Yahvé.

8Tú has puesto en mi corazón mayor alegría que cuando abunda trigo y vino.

9Apenas me acuesto, me duermo en paz, porque Tú me das seguridad, oh Yahvé.

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.]

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.
