Psalms 37:7-8

MSG

NIV

7 Quiet down before God, be prayerful before him. Don't bother with those who climb the ladder, who elbow their way to the top.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Bridle your anger, trash your wrath, cool your pipes - it only makes things worse.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.
