Let us consider v 7- 8 of Psalm 37 ,'Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him, fret not yourself over the one that prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices. Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! fret not yourself, it tends only to evil'. David experienced harm from people people who sought to hurt him ,even though he had done them no harm. The first one was King Saul, time after time he sought to kill David, Saul hunted David like an animal .There arose an opportunity for David to kill Saul CP 1 Samuel 24, but he didn't yield to the temptation, and he spared Saul's life ,it is Plummer who writes ,'He would not hurt him, but left his whole cause with God ,expecting Him to send deliverance'. In 1 Samuel 25 we read of a man called Nabal who refused to help David ,and insulted him, and David was so angry that he were going to destroy him and his household. But Nabal's wife a wise person ,intervened with the result David ceased from his anger, and spared Nabal and his household. Let us cease from our mad passions, and sinful anger, and leave God to deal with all such wrongs.
