Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for him;(A)
do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,
by the person who carries out evil plans.(B)

do not be agitated—it can only bring harm.(C)
For evildoers will be destroyed,
but those who put their hope in the Lord
will inherit the land.(D)
