David said in Psalms 37 Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers!  For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.  David is  encouraging the righteous not to worry over wrongdoers, for they are temporary and will fade quickly like grass under the hot Sun. The key to not fretting yourself is trust in the LORD and do good. In other words hope in God.
