Cum invocarem.

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 ye 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 rest: 9In peace in the self same I will sleep, and I will rest: 10For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.
Psalm 4 of 150

Text: the Douay-Rheims Bible in Bishop Challoner’s revision, public domain, from Project Gutenberg ebook 8300, set unaltered — 150 psalms and 2,528 verses, checked for gaps. Challoner’s own notes are left out, as in the gospels; the summary at the head of each psalm is his and is labelled as his. Psalms are numbered as in the Latin Vulgate, which differs by one from the Hebrew numbering of most modern Bibles for most of the book; each psalm gives both.
