Psalm 37:7-15 NWT . . .Keep silent before Jehovah ( יהוה ) And wait longingly for him. Do not show yourself heated up at anyone making his way successful, At the man carrying out [his] ideas. ? [He´] 8 Let anger alone and leave rage; Do not show yourself heated up only to do evil. 9 For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah () are the ones that will possess the earth. ? [Waw] 10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. ? [Za´yin] 12 The wicked one is plotting against the righteous one, And at him he is grinding his teeth. 13 Jehovah ( יהוה ) himself will laugh at him, For he certainly sees that his day will come. ? [Chehth] 14 The wicked ones have drawn a sword itself and have bent their bow, To cause the afflicted and poor one to fall, To slaughter those who are upright in [their] way. 15 Their own sword will enter into their heart, And their own bows will be broken.
