Psalms 37:6-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

6. and will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,your justice like high noon.

7. Be still before the Lord, and wait for him.Don’t get upset when someone gets ahead—someone who invents evil schemes.

8. Let go of anger and leave rage behind!Don’t get upset—it will only lead to evil.

9. Because evildoers will be eliminated,but those who hope in the Lord—they will possess the land.

10. In just a little while the wicked won’t exist!If you go looking around their place,they won’t be there.

11. But the weak will inherit the land;they will enjoy a surplus of peace.

12. The wicked plot against the righteous,grinding their teeth at them.

13. But my Lord just laughs at thembecause he knows that their day is coming.

14. The wicked draw their swords and bend their bowsto bring down the weak and the needy,to slaughter those whose way is right.

15. But the sword of the wicked will enter their own hearts!Their bows will be broken!
