Psalm 37:8-15

Christian Standard Bible

⁸ Refrain from anger and give up your rage;
do not be agitated—it can only bring harm.^(A)
9 For evildoers will be destroyed,
but those who put their hope in the Lord
will inherit the land.^(B)

¹⁰ A little while, and the wicked person will be no more;
though you look for him, he will not be there.^(C)
11 But the humble will inherit the land^(D)
and will enjoy abundant prosperity.^(E)

¹² The wicked person schemes against the righteous
and gnashes his teeth at him.^(F)
13 The Lord laughs at him^(G)
because he sees that his day is coming.^(H)

¹⁴ The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the^[a] bow
to bring down the poor and needy
and to slaughter those whose way is upright.^(I)
15 Their swords will enter their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.^(J)
