Be still before the Lord; wait patiently for Him and entrust yourself to Him;Do not fret (whine, agonize) because of him who prospers in his way,Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
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.
Quiet down before God, be prayerful before him.Don’t bother with those who climb the ladder, who elbow their way to the top. 8-9 Bridle your anger, trash your wrath, cool your pipes—it only makes things worse.Before long the crooks will be bankrupt; God-investors will soon own the store. 10-11 Before you know it, the wicked will have had it; you’ll stare at his once famous place and—nothing!Down-to-earth people will move in and take over, relishing a huge bonanza. 12-13 Bad guys have it in for the good guys, obsessed with doing them in.But God isn’t losing any sleep; to him they’re a joke with no punch line. 14-15 Bullies brandish their swords, pull back on their bows with a flourish.They’re out to beat up on the harmless, or mug that nice man out walking his dog.A banana peel lands them flat on their faces— slapstick figures in a moral circus. 16-17 Less is more and more is less. One righteous will outclass fifty wicked,For the wicked are moral weaklings but the righteous are God-strong. 18-19 God keeps track of the decent folk; what they do won’t soon be forgotten.In hard times, they’ll hold their heads high; when the shelves are bare, they’ll be full.
[b]Rest in the Lord and wait [c]patiently for Him;Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
Be still and wait patiently for the Lord to act. Don’t be upset when other people succeed. Don’t be upset when they carry out their evil plans.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
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.
