Ephesians 4:26 "In your anger do not sin"*: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
What it says is that it is ok to be righteously angry, and you can, as GD was, but do not sin...and let it go when the day is done so it does not stay with you.
The whole saying goes
Eph 4:26 “In your anger do not sin”[fn4]: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
Eph 4:27 and do not give the devil a foothold.
Eph 4:28 He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.
Eph 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
Eph 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
Eph 4:31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
Eph 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Joe 2:1 Blow the trumpet in Zion;
sound the alarm on my holy hill.
Let all who live in the land tremble,
for the day of the Lord is coming.
It is close at hand—
Joe 2:2 a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness.
Like dawn spreading across the mountains
a large and mighty army comes,
such as never was of old
nor ever will be in ages to come.
Joe 2:3 Before them fire devours,
behind them a flame blazes.
Before them the land is like the garden of Eden,
behind them, a desert waste—
nothing escapes them.
Joe 2:4 They have the appearance of horses;
they gallop along like cavalry.
Joe 2:5 With a noise like that of chariots
they leap over the mountaintops,
like a crackling fire consuming stubble,
like a mighty army drawn up for battle.
Joe 2:6 At the sight of them, nations are in anguish;
every face turns pale.
Joe 2:7 They charge like warriors;
they scale walls like soldiers.
They all march in line,
not swerving from their course.
Joe 2:8 They do not jostle each other;
each marches straight ahead.
They plunge through defenses
without breaking ranks.
Joe 2:9 They rush upon the city;
they run along the wall.
They climb into the houses;
like thieves they enter through the windows.
Joe 2:10 Before them the earth shakes,
the sky trembles,
the sun and moon are darkened,
and the stars no longer shine.
Joe 2:11 The Lord thunders
at the head of his army;
his forces are beyond number,
and mighty are those who obey his command.
The day of the Lord is great;
it is dreadful.
Who can endure it?
Joe 2:12 “Even now,” declares the Lord,
“return to me with all your heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning.”
Joe 2:13 Rend your heart
and not your garments.
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity.
Joe 2:14 Who knows? He may turn and have pity
and leave behind a blessing—
grain offerings and drink offerings
for the Lord your God.

The 3rd Chapter of Colossians, Paul tells us that if we are of Christ, we should be in the same loving spirit...
Col 3:8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
The whole chapter says:
Col 3:1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Col 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Col 3:3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
Col 3:4 When Christ, who is your[fn1] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Col 3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
Col 3:6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[fn2]
Col 3:7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.
Col 3:8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
Col 3:9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices
Col 3:10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
Col 3:11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
Col 3:12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Col 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Col 3:14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Col 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
Col 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Col 3:18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Col 3:19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
Col 3:20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
Col 3:21 Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
Col 3:22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.
Col 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,
Col 3:24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Col 3:25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
In James, Paul speaks again of how to be in the spirit is to be less angry:

James 1
Prior Book Prior Chapter Next Chapter Next Book
KJV NKJV NLT NIV ESV NASB RSV ASV Young's Darby's Webster's HNV Vulgate Hebrew (OT) Greek (NT)
------------------------------...
Jam 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations:
Greetings.
Jam 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
Jam 1:3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Jam 1:4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Jam 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
Jam 1:6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
Jam 1:7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord;
Jam 1:8 he is a double‑minded man, unstable in all he does.
Jam 1:9 The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position.
Jam 1:10 But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower.
Jam 1:11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.
Jam 1:12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
Jam 1:13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
Jam 1:14 but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.
Jam 1:15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full‑grown, gives birth to death.
Jam 1:16 Don't be deceived, my dear brothers.
Jam 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Jam 1:18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
Jam 1:19 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,
Jam 1:20 for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.
Jam 1:21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
Jesus said we should forgive, especially in the LRD's prayer--Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us.
Remember---for the LRD to forgive us our sins, He had to recognize it was a sin, and that included anger, rage, etc --anger is not the sin, what we do, how long we take it with us, and that we may not forgive others is.l
Like your attitude, "trust in the Lord always and lean not unto your own understanding"
