Rest in the Lord, (A)and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who (B)prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
(C)Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
(D)Do not fret—it only causes harm.

For evildoers shall be [a]cut off;
But those who wait on the Lord,
They shall (E)inherit the earth.

Be still(A) before the Lord
    and wait patiently(B) for him;
do not fret(C) when people succeed in their ways,(D)
    when they carry out their wicked schemes.(E)

Refrain from anger(F) and turn from wrath;
    do not fret(G)—it leads only to evil.
For those who are evil will be destroyed,(H)
    but those who hope(I) in the Lord will inherit the land.(J)
