“For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.”

Evildoers will not possess the future, while those who wait for the LORD receive the land; covenantal land language should not be turned into modern territorial entitlement or real-estate guarantees.
Be still; wait; the meek inherit
Verses 7–11 call for patient stillness, rejection of destructive anger, and hope that the violent do not define the future while the meek receive the land.
