2:13. When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all
they that trust in him.

Psalms Chapter 3

Domine, quid multiplicati.

The prophet's danger and delivery from his son Absalom: mystically, the
passion and resurrection of Christ.

3:1. The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom.

3:2 Why, O Lord, are they multipied that affict me? many are they who
rise up against me.

3:3 Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.

3:4. But thou, O Lord, art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of
my head.

3:5. I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from
his holy hill.

3:6. I have slept and have taken my rest: and I have risen up, because
the Lord hath protected me.

3:7. I will not fear thousands of the people surrounding me: arise, O
Lord; save me, O my God.

3:8. For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause:
thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.

3:9. Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.

Psalms Chapter 4

Cum invocarem.

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

4:1. Unto the end, in verses. A psalm for David.

Unto the end... Or, as St. Jerome renders it, victori, to him that
overcometh: which some understand of the chief musician; to whom they
suppose the psalms, which bear that title, were given to be sung: we
rather understand the psalms thus inscribed to refer to Christ, who is
the end of the law, and the great conqueror of death and hell, and to
the New Testament.-Ibid. In verses, in carminibus... In the Hebrew, it
is neghinoth, supposed by some to be a musical instrument, with which
this psalm was to be sung.-Ibid. For David, or to David... That is,
inspired to David himself, or to be sung.

4:2. 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.

4:3. O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? why do you
love vanity, and seek after lying?

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

4:5. Be ye angry, and sin not: the things you say in your hearts, be
sorry for them upon your beds.

4:6. Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: many say,
Who sheweth us good things?

4:7. The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us: thou hast
given gladness in my heart.

4:8. By the fruit of their corn, their wine, and oil, they rest:

4:9. In peace in the self same I will sleep, and I will rest:

4:10. For thou, O Lord, singularly hast settled me in hope.

Psalms Chapter 5
