Psalm 37:7-20

⁷ Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him.
Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way,
because of the man who makes wicked plots happen. ⁸ Cease from anger, and forsake wrath.
Don’t fret, it leads only to evildoing. ⁹ For evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for Yahweh shall inherit the land. ¹⁰ For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more.
Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there. ¹¹ But the humble shall inherit the land,
and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. ¹² The wicked plots against the just,
and gnashes at him with his teeth. ¹³ The Lord will laugh at him,
for he sees that his day is coming. ¹⁴ The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,
to cast down the poor and needy,
to kill those who are upright in the way. ¹⁵ Their sword shall enter into their own heart.
Their bows shall be broken. ¹⁶ Better is a little that the righteous has,
than the abundance of many wicked. ¹⁷ For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but Yahweh upholds the righteous. ¹⁸ Yahweh knows the days of the perfect.
Their inheritance shall be forever. ¹⁹ They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil.
In the days of famine they shall be satisfied. ²⁰ But the wicked shall perish.
The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields.
They will vanish—
vanish like smoke.
