Psalm 37:5-10
New International Version
5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him(A) and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward(B) shine like the dawn,(C)
your vindication like the noonday sun.
7 Be still(D) before the Lord
and wait patiently(E) for him;
do not fret(F) when people succeed in their ways,(G)
when they carry out their wicked schemes.(H)
8 Refrain from anger(I) and turn from wrath;
do not fret(J)—it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,(K)
but those who hope(L) in the Lord will inherit the land.(M)
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;(N)
though you look for them, they will not be found.
Psalm 37:5-10
King James Version
5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
