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.
Be still before the Lord and wait for Him; do not eat yourself up over people who seem to get ahead by doing wrong.
KJV4Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7Rest 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. 8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 9For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. 10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
Israel’s prayer book: songs of trust, lament, thanks and praise, many of them by David.
The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
Written in a book of grief: the Lord is good to those who wait for Him, and quiet hope is good.
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
A promise for the worn out: those who wait on the Lord receive new strength, to run, and to keep walking without fainting.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Do not give up doing good. The harvest comes in its time.
