Psalms 37:8-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. Refrain from anger and forsake wrath. Do not fret; it only brings evil.

9. For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh— they will possess the land.

10. And yet a little while and the wicked will not be, and you will look carefully upon his place, but he will not be.

11. But the afflicted will possess the land, and they will take pleasure in an abundance of peace.

12. The wicked plans evil against the righteous, and gnashes at him with his teeth.

13. The Lord laughs at him, for he sees that his day is coming.

14. The wicked have drawn the sword and have bent their bow to throw down the poor and the needy, to kill those upright in their way.

15. Their sword will enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
