Dalet
Be still before Yahweh!
Wait patiently for him!
Do not fret over
Those who prosper in their ways!
Do not fret over
Those who carry out evil devices!”
However, you need to be still before Yahweh. You have to wait patiently for him. Thus, there is no need to fret over the prosperous ones who carry out evil designs.
“I believe
That I shall see the goodness of Yahweh
In the land of the living!
Wait for Yahweh!
Be strong!
Let your heart take courage!
Wait for Yahweh!”
David would see the goodness of Yahweh during his lifetime in the land of the living. He only had to wait for Yahweh. He had to be strong and take courage. He needed the patience to wait for the coming of Yahweh.
