Psalms 37:8 Context
6And he shall bring forth thy righteousnes as the light, and thy iudgement as the noone day. 7Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thy selfe because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked deuices to passe. 8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thy selfe in any wise to doe euill. 9For euil doers shall be cut off: but those that waite vpon the Lord, they shall inherite the earth. 10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not bee: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
