Psalm 37:8

Instruction In Wisdom

⁷
Be still before the Lord; wait patiently for Him and entrust yourself to Him;
Do not fret (whine, agonize) because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
⁸ 
Cease from anger and abandon wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evil.
⁹
For those who do evil will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.
