Concerning Anger

The LORD is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in love.

The LORD is good to all; he has
compassion on all he has made.

Psalm 145:8,9 NIV


Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his,
and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
For his anger endureth but a moment;
in his favour is life: weeping may endure
for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Psalm 30:4,5 KJV


But You are a God of forgiveness,
Gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness;
And You did not forsake them

Nehemiah 9:17 NASB


Know this, my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.

James 1:19,20 RSV
