Psalm 37:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 Wait quietly for the Lord
and be patient until he comes.
Do not fret over the man who prospers
because of his evil schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn away from wrath;
do not fret—it does nothing but harm.
9 For evildoers will be destroyed,
but those who wait for the Lord will inherit the land.[a]
Footnotes
- Psalm 37:9 Those who hope only in the Lord for their sustenance and their well-being (i.e., “the poor”) will inherit the land, while those who bypass God and by wicked means try to take hold of it will come to naught (see notes on Pss 5:11; 35).
