LXX Psalm 4:5
Septuagint
2 When I called, the God of my righteousness heard me. In tribulation you made room for me. Have mercy upon me and hearken to my prayer. 3 Sons of humans, how long are you slow of heart? Why do you love vanity and seek a lie? 4 Know that the Lord magnifies his holy one. The Lord will hear me when I have cried out to him. 5 Be angry and do not sin. For what you say in your heart, let your conscience be pained upon your beds. 6 Offer a sacrifice of righteousness and place your hope in the Lord.

Ephesians 4:26
New Testament
24 and to put on the new man who has been created in God’s image—in righteousness and holiness that comes from truth. 25 Therefore, having laid aside falsehood, each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor because we are members of one another. 26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on the cause of your anger. 27 Do not give the devil an opportunity. 28 The one who steals must steal no longer; instead he must labor, doing good with his own hands, so that he will have something to share with the one who has need.
