ESVEnglish Standard Version

For the evildoers shall be cut off,

but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.

In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;

though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.

But the meek shall inherit the land

and delight themselves in abundant peace.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

For those who are evil will be destroyed,

but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

A little while, and the wicked will be no more;

though you look for them, they will not be found.

But the meek will inherit the land

and enjoy peace and prosperity.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

For evildoers will be destroyed,

but those who put their hope in the Lord

will inherit the land.

A little while, and the wicked person will be no more;

though you look for him, he will not be there.

But the humble will inherit the land

and will enjoy abundant prosperity.

NLTNew Living Translation

For the wicked will be destroyed,

but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.

Soon the wicked will disappear.

Though you look for them, they will be gone.

The lowly will possess the land

and will live in peace and prosperity.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

For evildoers will be cut off,

but those who wait for Yahweh—

they will possess the land.

And yet a little while and the wicked will not be,

and you will look carefully upon his place, but he will not be.

But the afflicted will possess the land,

and they will take pleasure in an abundance of peace.
