Ayub 22:27

22:27 You will pray to him and he will hear you,

and you will fulfill your vows to him. ¹ 

Mazmur 4:4

4:4 Tremble with fear and do not sin! ² 

Meditate as you lie in bed, and repent of your ways! ³  (Selah)

[22:27]  ¹ tn The words “to him” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

[4:4]  ² sn The psalmist warns his enemies that they need to tremble with fear before God and repudiate their sinful ways.

[4:4]  ³ 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.”
