Psalm 37:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 Refrain from anger and turn away from wrath;
do not fret—it does nothing but harm.
9 For evildoers will be destroyed,
but those who wait for the Lord will inherit the land.[a]
10 In a short while, the wicked will be no more;
no matter how diligently you search, you will not be able to find him.
