Psalm 37:8

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret; it leads only to evildoing.
In context
6 he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret; it leads only to evildoing.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.
