7 Rest in the Lord, ^aand wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who ^bprospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. ‡

8 ^aCease from anger, and forsake wrath;
^bDo not fret—it only causes harm. ‡

10 For ^ayet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, ^byou will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more. ‡

11 ^aBut the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. ‡
