John Gill Commentary Psalms 37:1

"Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness." — Psalms 37:1 (ASV)

Fret not yourself because of evildoers
The saints may be grieved at them and for them, because of their evil doings, and may be angry with them for them; yet are not to show any undue warmth, at least in an indecent way, by calling them opprobrious names; for the words may be rendered, "do not show yourself warm" or "angry" ^F9 : in a sinful way; or fret not at their outward prosperity, as it is explained (Psalms 37:7) . The Targum adds, "to be like them", which agrees with (Psalms 37:8) ;

neither be envious against the workers of iniquity ;
that is, at their present temporal happiness; see (Psalms 73:3) . The Targum adds, as before, to be joined with them; which sense some parallel places seem to incline to, (Proverbs 3:31) (23:17) .
