Psalm 4 Flashcards
cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus justitiae mae
when I called (coom invo-car-em)
He heard me (ex-aw-DEE-veet may)
the God of my justice (jus-teetz-ee-ay may)
God is just…when we ask humbly…He hears our prayer and answers
in tribulatione dilatasti mihi
in tribulation (trib-you-lots-ee-own-ay) you enlarged me (dee-lah-tahz-ti mee-hee)
hearts are enlarged as they love more thing - God makes even suffering joyus, trials are part of the joy too! The hearts love encompasses more
our good works no longer limited to all we encounter are Christ! A LARGE HEART INDEED!
miserere mei
have mercy on me
et exaudi orationem meam
and hear my prayer (may-ahm)

how long…dull…heart
(oos-qway-qwoh grov-ee cord-ay)
