7. Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because of a man doing wicked devices.
8. Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil.
9. For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.
10. And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.
11. And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.
12. The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.
13. The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.
14. A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.
15. Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.
16. Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
17. For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.
18. Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is--to the age.
19. They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of famine they are satisfied.
20. But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have been consumed.
21. The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the righteous is gracious and giving.
