5. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.
6. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,and your justice as the noonday.
7. 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!
8. Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
9. For the evildoers shall be cut off,but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
10. In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.
11. But the meek shall inherit the landand delight themselves in abundant peace.
12. The wicked plots against the righteousand gnashes his teeth at him,
13. but the Lord laughs at the wicked,for he sees that his day is coming.
14. The wicked draw the sword and bend their bowsto bring down the poor and needy,to slay those whose way is upright;
15. their sword shall enter their own heart,and their bows shall be broken.
