Psalms 4:4

Context

4:4 Tremble with fear and do not sin! 1 

Meditate as you lie in bed, and repent of your ways! 2  (Selah)

1 sn The psalmist warns his enemies that they need to tremble with fear before God and repudiate their sinful ways.

2 tn Heb “say in your heart(s) on your bed(s) and wail/lament.” The verb דֹמּוּ (dommu) is understood as a form of דָמָם (“wail, lament”) in sorrow and repentance. Another option is to take the verb from II דָמָם (damam, “be quiet”); cf. NIV, NRSV “be silent.”
