Psalm 37:7-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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.(A)
8 Refrain from anger and forsake wrath.
Do not fret—it leads only to evil.(B)
9 For the wicked shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.(C)
10 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look diligently for their place, they will not be there.(D)
11 But the meek shall inherit the land
and delight themselves in abundant prosperity.(E)
12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them,(F)
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he sees that their day is coming.(G)
