and forsake wrath;
which is anger wrought up to a greater degree; and the rather to be shunned and avoided, as being very disagreeable to the character of a good man;

Psalm 37:8 In-Context

6 E produrrà fuori la tua giustizia, come la luce; E la tua dirittura, come il mezzodì.
7 Attendi il Signore in silenzio; Non crucciarti per colui che prospera nella sua via, Per l’uomo che opera scelleratezza.
8 Rimanti dell’ira, e lascia il cruccio; Non isdegnarti, sì veramente, che tu venga a far male.
9 Perciocchè i maligni saranno sterminati; Ma coloro che sperano nel Signore possederanno la terra.
10 Fra breve spazio l’empio non sarà più; E se tu poni mente al suo luogo, egli non vi sarà più.
