‏ Psalms 4:4-5

4:4 ^a Angry feelings are not sinful, but letting anger control you leads to sin (see 37:7-8 ^b; cp. Eph 4:26-27 ^c, 31-32 ^d).

• 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 ^e).
4:5 ^f Offer sacrifices in the right spirit: Redirecting emotions toward the Lord prevents a godly individual from doing too much self-reflection (40:6-8 ^g; 51:17 ^h).
