[a]Rest in the Lord and (A)wait [b]patiently for Him;
(B)Do not get upset because of one who is (C)successful in his way,
Because of the person who carries out wicked schemes.
Cease from anger and (D)abandon wrath;
Do not get upset; it leads only to evildoing.
For (E)evildoers will be eliminated,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will (F)inherit the land.
10 Yet (G)a little while and the wicked person will be no more;
And you will look carefully for (H)his place and he will not be there.
11 But (I)the humble will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in (J)abundant prosperity.
