Psalm 37:7 (NIV)
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Here are the renderings of this verse in other translations. (Revised Version) “Be still before (‘silent to,’ margin) Jehovah and wait patiently for Him…” (Young) “Be silent for Johovah and stay thyself for Him…” (Hebrew) “Resign thyself unto the Lord, and wait patiently for Him…” (Rotherham) “Be resigned to Yahweh, yea wait with longing for Him…” (Septuagint) “Submit thyself to the Lord and supplicate Him…” (Moffat) “Leave it to the Eternal and be patient…” What do you need to release in order to be able to be still and wait patiently for the Lord’s intervention? What is causing your heart such distress that you cannot sit in quiet trust in God? Let the Holy Spirit trace your anxiety to its root, then give Him permission to bring understanding and healing and transformation.
