Psalms 37:8

AngerWorry and anxietySelf-control

6 He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.

7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes.

Refrain from anger and abandon wrath; do not fret—it can only bring harm.

9 For the evildoers will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

10 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
