Context of Psalms 37:6
4and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart. 5Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring [it] to pass; and he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass. 8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it [would be] only to do evil.
