Psalm 37:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Be still and wait patiently for the Lord to act.
    Don’t be upset when other people succeed.
    Don’t be upset when they carry out their evil plans.

⁸ Turn away from anger and don’t give in to wrath.
    Don’t be upset, because that only leads to evil.
⁹ Sinful people will be destroyed.
    But those who put their hope in the Lord will receive the land.
