7Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.
8Put an end to your wrath and be no longer bitter; do not give way to angry feeling which is a cause of sin.
9For the evil-doers will be cut off: but those who have faith in the Lord will have the earth for their heritage.
10For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.
11But the gentle will have the earth for their heritage; they will take their delight in peace without measure.
12The sinner has evil designs against the upright, lifting up the voice of wrath against him.
13He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.
