Psalm 37:1-11

Christian Standard Bible

³ Trust in the Lord and do what is good;^(C)
dwell in the land and live securely.^[a](D)
4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart’s desires.^(E)

⁵ Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act,^(F)
6 making your righteousness shine like the dawn,
your justice like the noonday.^(G)

⁷ Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for him;^(H)
do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,
by the person who carries out evil plans.^(I)

⁸ Refrain from anger and give up your rage;
do not be agitated—it can only bring harm.^(J)
9 For evildoers will be destroyed,
but those who put their hope in the Lord
will inherit the land.^(K)

¹⁰ A little while, and the wicked person will be no more;
though you look for him, he will not be there.^(L)
11 But the humble will inherit the land^(M)
and will enjoy abundant prosperity.^(N)
