Psalm 37:7-13
New International Version
7 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)
8 Refrain from anger(F) and turn from wrath;
do not fret(G)—it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,(H)
but those who hope(I) in the Lord will inherit the land.(J)
Psalm 37:7-13
King James Version
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
