The image is only intended to provide resonances with some aspects of the psalm; it is not intended as a one-to-one correspondence. It is more like a visual cross-reference. Other cross references might be Ephesians 4:26, Psalm 1 or Psalm 63:6. Many consider the psalm to be chiastic.

This psalm is difficult to interpret. See the several Psalms: Layer by Layer videos as evidence of this - https://www.youtube.com/@PsalmsLayerByLayer. In their most recent interpretation Psalm 4 parallels Psalm 67 in several ways.
In Ephesians 4: 26, the Apostle Paul quotes this psalm in the context of anger. The first mention of anger in the Bible is in Genesis 4 and therefore it is hoped that the children's story book picture of Cain and Abel might not cause much offence.
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.
PSALM 4 C.M.
1 O hear my cry, my righteous God.
Relieve me; I’m distressed.
Display your mercy to me now,
and answer my request.
2 The glory of my name, O men,
how long will you despise?
How long will you delude yourselves,
still searching after lies?
3 Know that the LORD has set apart
the godly as his own;
The LORD will hear me when I call
and my request make known.
4 In anger do not break God’s law;
consider and be still.
5 Present a righteous sacrifice,
and wait upon his will.
6 “O who can show us any good?”
I hear so many say.
O LORD, shine on us with your light;
show us your face, I pray.
7 You filled my heart with greater joy
than others may have found
As they rejoiced at harvest time,
when grain and wine abound.
8 I will lie down and sleep in peace;
my heart will rest secure,
For you alone, O gracious LORD,
will keep me safe and sure.
