Psalm 37:4-14

English Standard Version

^5 (C)Commit your way to the Lord;
    ^(D)trust in him, and he will act.
^6 (E)He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,
    and your justice as ^(F)the noonday.

^7 (G)Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
    ^(H)fret not yourself over the one who ^(I)prospers in his way,
    over the man who carries out evil devices!

^8 (J)Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!
    ^(K)Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
^9 (L)For the evildoers shall be cut off,
    but those who wait for the Lord shall ^(M)inherit the land.

¹⁰ In ^(N)just a little while, the wicked will be no more;
    though you look carefully at ^(O)his place, he will not be there.
¹¹ But ^(P)the meek shall inherit the land
    and delight themselves in ^(Q)abundant peace.

¹² The wicked ^(R)plots against the righteous
    and ^(S)gnashes his teeth at him,
¹³ but the Lord ^(T)laughs at the wicked,
    for he sees that his ^(U)day is coming.

¹⁴ The wicked draw the sword and ^(V)bend their bows
    to bring down the poor and needy,
    to slay those whose ^(W)way is upright;
