Psalms 4Douay-Rheims Challoner

Psalms 4:1-10

Haydock's commentary on this chapter

Cum invocarem. The prophet teacheth us to flee to God in tribulation, with confidence in him.

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

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

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 

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

6 

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

7 

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

8 

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

9 

In peace in the self same I will sleep, and I will rest:

10 

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