Psalm 37:3-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
live in the land and enjoy security.(A)
4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.(B)
5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.(C)
6 He will make your vindication shine like the light
and the justice of your cause like the noonday.(D)
7 Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
do not fret over those who prosper in their way,
over those who carry out evil devices.(E)
8 Refrain from anger and forsake wrath.
Do not fret—it leads only to evil.(F)
9 For the wicked shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.(G)
10 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look diligently for their place, they will not be there.(H)
11 But the meek shall inherit the land
and delight themselves in abundant prosperity.(I)
