The Bible in Basic English BBE
7 Be still before ADONAI; wait patiently till he comes. Don't be upset by those whose way succeeds because of their wicked plans.
7
Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.
8 Stop being angry, put aside rage, and don't be upset - it leads to evil.
8
Put an end to your wrath and be no longer bitter; do not give way to angry feeling which is a cause of sin.
9 For evildoers will be cut off, but those hoping in ADONAI will inherit the land.
9
For the evil-doers will be cut off: but those who have faith in the Lord will have the earth for their heritage.
10 Soon the wicked will be no more; you will look for his place, and he won't be there.
10
For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.
11 But the meek will inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace.
11
But the gentle will have the earth for their heritage; they will take their delight in peace without measure.
