TSNTyndale Study Notes:

4:4 Angry feelings are not sinful, but letting anger control you leads to sin (see 37:7-8; cp. Eph 4:26-27, 31-32).
• Instead of acting on their emotions, the godly think about their circumstances overnight. They might be disturbed as they sleep, but silence opens their hearts to trust in the Lord (Ps 4:5).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

רִגְז֗וּ וְֽ⁠אַל־תֶּ֫חֱטָ֥אוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,know that/for/because/then/when set_apart YHWH faithful to=him/it YHWH hears in/on/at/with,call,I to=him/it )

The implication could be: (1) that the hearers should tremble in fear of Yahweh’s punishment for the unfaithful or (2) that if the hearers are angry, they should control themselves and not sin. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Tremble in fear and do not sin” or “Even if you tremble angrily, do not sin”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אִמְר֣וּ בִ֭⁠לְבַבְ⁠כֶם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,know that/for/because/then/when set_apart YHWH faithful to=him/it YHWH hears in/on/at/with,call,I to=him/it )

Here, the heart represents the thoughts and motives. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “Consider your thoughts and motives”

Note 3 topic: writing-poetry

אִמְר֣וּ בִ֭⁠לְבַבְ⁠כֶם עַֽל־מִשְׁכַּבְ⁠כֶ֗ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,know that/for/because/then/when set_apart YHWH faithful to=him/it YHWH hears in/on/at/with,call,I to=him/it )

The Hebrew root words for speak, heart, and bed in this verse appear in verses 7 (as “say”), 8, and 9 (as “lie down”) respectively (in the same order). Consider if a similar pattern would create a natural poetic effect in your language.

אִמְר֣וּ בִ֭⁠לְבַבְ⁠כֶם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,know that/for/because/then/when set_apart YHWH faithful to=him/it YHWH hears in/on/at/with,call,I to=him/it )

Alternate translation: “Think to yourselves”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠דֹ֣מּוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,know that/for/because/then/when set_apart YHWH faithful to=him/it YHWH hears in/on/at/with,call,I to=him/it )

Here, be silent means that the listeners should show self-control and not act on sinful impulses. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and do not act on evil thoughts”
