Psalm 37:8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!
Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
9 For the evildoers shall be cut off,
but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
10 In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;
though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.
11 But the meek shall inherit the land
and delight themselves in abundant peace.
12 The wicked plots against the righteous
and gnashes his teeth at him,
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he sees that his day is coming.
Once again, we see the contrast here between what God can see and what we can see. This psalm begins with a call to the believer to not "fret" over the situation of the unbeliever. One might look at their life and wonder why they seem to prosper, while I struggle. The psalmist says: "wait and see." As carefully as we look at the situation, we cannot see what God can see. Judgment is coming. The Lord can see that: we cannot.
