Fretting
Psalms 37:1-8
1 Do not fret because
of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants
they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy
safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the
desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do
this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the
justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not
fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it
leads only to evil.
