(A)Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
He will bring out (B)your righteousness as the light,
And your judgment (C)as the noonday.

[a]Rest in the Lord and (D)wait [b]patiently for Him;
(E)Do not get upset because of one who is (F)successful in his way,
Because of the person who carries out wicked schemes.
Cease from anger and (G)abandon wrath;
Do not get upset; it leads only to evildoing.
For (H)evildoers will be eliminated,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will (I)inherit the land.

  1. Psalm 37:7 Or Be still
  2. Psalm 37:7 Or longingly

Commit your way to the Lord;
    trust in him(A) and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward(B) shine like the dawn,(C)
    your vindication like the noonday sun.

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

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