Translation by Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)

Psalmus 4
Language: Latin 
1  In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David.
2  Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus justitiæ meæ,
   in tribulatione dilatasti mihi.
   Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam.
3  Filii hominum, usquequo gravi corde?
   ut quid diligitis vanitatem, et quæritis mendacium?
4  Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum;
   Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
5  Irascimini, et nolite peccare;
   quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
6  Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, et sperate in Domino.
   Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
7  Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Domine:
   dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
8  A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.
9  In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
10 quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.

Psalm 4
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
1  Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen, beim Saitenspiel.
2  Erhöre mich, wenn ich rufe, Gott meiner Gerechtigkeit,
   der du mich tröstest in Angst; sei mir gnädig und erhöre mein Gebet!
3  Ihr Herren, wie lange soll meine Ehre geschändet werden?
   Wie habt ihr das Eitle so lieb und die Lüge so gern! SELA.
4  Erkennet doch, dass der HERR seine Heiligen wunderbar führt;
   der HERR hört, wenn ich ihn anrufe.
5  Zürnet ihr, so sündiget nicht;
   redet in eurem Herzen auf eurem Lager und seid stille. SELA.
6  Opfert, was recht ist,
   und hoffet auf den HERRN.
7  Viele sagen: »Wer wird uns Gutes sehen lassen?«
   HERR, lass leuchten über uns das Licht deines Antlitzes!
8  Du erfreust mein Herz,
   ob jene auch viel Wein und Korn haben.
9  Ich liege und schlafe ganz mit Frieden;
   denn allein du, HERR, hilfst mir, dass ich sicher wohne.

Note: some lines of this translation were used by Reger in "Ach Herr, strafe mich nicht"
