Psalm 37: 3-9New International Version
 

For those whose sense of time is defined by Greenwich, it is almost impossible to conceive the sense of time innate to those who lived before such an innovation. For workers whose existence is punctuated only by the time clock or by meeting the schedule of appointments, time becomes a tyrant that enslaves the soul; selfconsciousness for them can be revived only by breaking this tyranny and reasserting the independence of the will to act in accordance with its own quiet purpose rather than as directed by that most subtle of all modern dictators -- one's watch.

 

Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret – it leads only to evil. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
