‏ Psalms 4:4

v. 4: David warns his listeners not to sin. He says, Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still . The apostle Paul also uses this advice (Ephesians 4:26 a). David teaches that a good way to avoid sin is to respect God and think carefully before acting. At night, before sleeping, we should think about what we have done and ask ourselves if we have done wrong. Being quiet and calm helps us to listen to our conscience and to God (Psalm 63:6 b).
