Psalm 37:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:8

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;

fret not thyself in any wise to do evil;
evil may be done by fretting at the prosperity of wicked men, or by imitating them, doing as they do, in hope of being prosperous as they are; from which the psalmist dissuades by reasons following.

Psalm 37:8 In-Context

6 Egli farà risplendere la tua giustizia come la luce, e il tuo diritto come il mezzodì.
7 Sta’ in silenzio dinanzi all’Eterno, e aspettalo; non ti crucciare per colui che prospera nella sua via, per l’uomo che riesce ne’ suoi malvagi disegni.
8 Cessa dall’ira e lascia lo sdegno; non crucciarti; ciò non conduce che al mal fare.
9 Poiché i malvagi saranno sterminati; ma quelli che sperano nell’Eterno possederanno la terra.
10 Ancora un poco e l’empio non sarà più; tu osserverai il suo luogo, ed egli non vi sarà più.
