Psalms 37:9 Context
7Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thy selfe because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked deuices to passe. 8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thy selfe in any wise to doe euill. 9For euil doers shall be cut off: but those that waite vpon the Lord, they shall inherite the earth. 10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not bee: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 11But the meeke shall inherite the earth: and shall delight themselues in the abundance of peace.
