Psalm 37:7

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Be still before the LORD

Isaiah 41:1  "Be silent before me, you islands! Let the nations renew their strength! Let them come forward and speak; let us meet together at the place of judgment."

and wait patiently for him

Psalm 40:1  I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.
Psalm 130:5  I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.
Isaiah 38:13  "I waited paitently till dawn, but like a lion he broke all my bones; day and night you made an end of me." (Hezekiah's prayer)
Habakkuk 3:16  I heard and my heart pounded, my lips quivered at the sound; decay crept into my bones, and my legs trembled. Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the nation invading us.
Romans 8:25  But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

do not fret 
Psalm 37:1  Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; ...

when people succeed in their ways 
Jeremiah 12:1  You are always righteous, LORD, when I bring a case before you. Yet I would speak with you about your justice: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease? 

when they carry out their wicked schemes 
Psalm 21:11  Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed.
