NET Notes: Psa 4:4

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.”
