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)

¹² The wicked plot^(N) against the righteous
    and gnash their teeth^(O) at them;
¹³ but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
    for he knows their day is coming.^(P)

¹⁴ The wicked draw the sword^(Q)
    and bend the bow^(R)
to bring down the poor and needy,^(S)
    to slay those whose ways are upright.
¹⁵ But their swords will pierce their own hearts,^(T)
    and their bows will be broken.^(U)
