7Be still in God's presence; wait patiently for him. Don't be upset over people who prosper when they carry out their evil schemes.
8Give up your anger! Let go your rage! Don't get mad—it only results in evil!
9For the wicked will be destroyed, and those who trust in the Lord will take possession of the land.
10In a little while the wicked will be no more—though you look for them you won't find them.
11The humble will own the land; they will live there happily, in peace and prosperity.
12The wicked plot evil against those who do good, gnashing their teeth at them.
13But the Lord laughs at them, for he sees their coming day of judgment.
14The wicked draw their swords, and bend their bows to destroy the poor and needy, to kill those who live right.
15But the swords of the wicked will slice through their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
16It's better to do right and only have a little, than to be wicked and rich.
17For the power of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord supports those who do right.
18The Lord knows what is happening to the innocent and grants them an eternal inheritance.
19They will not be humiliated in bad times; even in days of famine they will have plenty to eat.
20But the wicked will die. The enemies of the Lord are like the flowers of the field—they will vanish like smoke.
21The wicked borrow, but don't repay; while those who do right give generously.
22Those who are blessed by God will own the land, but those he curses will die.
23The Lord shows the right path to those who follow him, and is happy with the way they live.
