Read Psalm 37:8 in the NABRE onlineCease from anger, and leave indignation: and do not be emulous to do evil.
Reflection
Refrain from anger and forsake wrath — both verbs are active. The second half warns that fretting leads to evil. Anger that is nursed becomes a plan, and the plan is never good. The verse is a boundary, not a scold.
