New Testament

Psalm 37:7-12 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

7. Be still. Be patient. Wait for the Lord to act. Don't be upset when other people succeed. Don't be upset when they carry out their evil plans.

8. Keep from being angry. Turn away from anger. Don't be upset. That only leads to evil.

9. Sinful people will be cut off from the land. But it will be given to those who put their hope in the Lord.

10. In a little while, there won't be any more sinners. Even if you look for them, you won't be able to find them.

11. But those who are free of pride will be given the land. They will enjoy great peace.

12. Sinful people make plans to harm those who do what is right. They grind their teeth at them.
