Psalms 37:8-19 MWT Don't give in to worry or anger; don't let them preoccupy you, it only leads you to evil. (9) Those who trust in will possess the land, but the wicked will be destroyed. (10) Soon the wicked will be no more; you may look for them, but you won't find them; (11) but the humble will possess the land and enjoy exquisite delight in prosperity and peace. (12) The wicked plot against good people and glare at them with hate. (13) But laughs at wicked people, because he knows they will soon be destroyed. (14) The wicked draw their swords and bend their bows to kill the poor and needy, to slaughter those who do what is right; (15) but they will be killed by their own swords, and their bows will be smashed. (16) The little that a good person owns is worth more than the wealth of all the wicked, (17) because God will take away the strength of the wicked, but protect those who are good. (18) takes care of those who obey him, and the earth will be theirs forever. [Ecc 1:4] (19) They will not suffer when times are bad; they will have enough in time of famine.

Psalm 37:8-19 NWT
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. 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. 12 The wicked one is plotting against the righteous one, And at him he is grinding his teeth. 13 Jehovah himself will laugh at him, For he certainly sees that his day will come. 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. 16 Better is the little of the righteous one Than the abundance of the many wicked ones. 17 For the very arms of the wicked ones will be broken, But Jehovah will be supporting the righteous ones. 18 Jehovah is aware of the days of the faultless ones, And their very inheritance will continue even to time indefinite. 19 They will not be ashamed in the time of calamity, And in the days of famine they will be satisfied.
Psalms 37:8-19 GW Let go of anger, and leave rage behind. Do not be preoccupied. It only leads to evil. (9) Evildoers will be cut off from their inheritance, but those who wait with hope for the LORD will inherit the land. (10) In a little while a wicked person will vanish. Then you can carefully examine where he was, but there will be no trace of him. (11) Oppressed people will inherit the land and will enjoy unlimited peace. (12) The wicked person plots against a righteous one and grits his teeth at him. (13) The Lord laughs at him because he has seen that his time is coming. (14) Wicked people pull out their swords and bend their bows to kill oppressed and needy people, to slaughter those who are decent. (15) But their own swords will pierce their hearts, and their bows will be broken. (16) The little that the righteous person has is better than the wealth of many wicked people. (17) The arms of wicked people will be broken, but the LORD continues to support righteous people. (18) The LORD knows the daily struggles of innocent people. Their inheritance will last forever. [Ecc 1:4] (19) They will not be put to shame in trying times. Even in times of famine they will be satisfied.
