Psalms 37:7-8
Psalms 37:7-9 The Message (MSG)
Quiet down before GOD, be prayerful before him. Don’t bother with those who climb the ladder, who elbow their way to the top. Bridle your anger, trash your wrath, cool your pipes—it only makes things worse. Before long the crooks will be bankrupt; GOD-investors will soon own the store.
Psalms 37:7-8 King James Version (KJV)
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
Psalms 37:7-8 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
