ESVEnglish Standard Version

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;

fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,

over the man who carries out evil devices!

Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!

Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.

For the evildoers shall be cut off,

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

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for him;

do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,

by the person who carries out evil plans.

Refrain from anger and give up your rage;

do not be agitated—it can only bring harm.

For evildoers will be destroyed,

but those who put their hope in the Lord

will inherit the land.

Be still in the presence of the Lord,

and wait patiently for him to act.

Don’t worry about evil people who prosper

or fret about their wicked schemes.

Stop being angry!

Turn from your rage!

Do not lose your temper—

it only leads to harm.

For the wicked will be destroyed,

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

Be quiet before Yahweh and wait for him.

Do not fret about one who succeeds in his way,

about a man making plots.

they will possess the land.

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him:

Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way,

Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:

Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

For evildoers shall be cut off:

But those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
