7 Be still - to Yahweh and wait longingly for him may not you fret yourself in [one who] makes prosperous way his in a person [who] makes plots.

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes.

8 Refrain from anger and forsake rage may not you fret yourself only to do evil.

9 For evil-doers they will be cut off! and [those who] wait for Yahweh they they will possess [the] land.

16 [is] good [the] little Of the righteous more than [the] wealth of wicked [people] many.

19 Not they will be ashamed in a time evil and in days of famine they will be satisfied.

20 For wicked [people] - they will perish and [the] enemies of Yahweh [will be] like a splendid [thing] of pastures they will come to an end in smoke they will come to an end.

But the wicked and enemies of the LORD will perish like the glory of the fields. They will vanish; like smoke they will fade away.

26 All the day [he is] showing favor and [he is] lending and offspring his [become] a blessing.

They are ever generous and quick to lend, and their children are a blessing.

27 Turn away from evil and do good and dwell for ever.

I have seen a wicked, ruthless man flourishing like a well-rooted native tree,

36 And he passed away and there! there not [was] he and I sought him and not he was found.
