Psalm 37:7-15
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)
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;(K)
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land(L)
and enjoy peace and prosperity.(M)
Psalm 37:7-15
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.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
