Look to Hashem and keep to His way, and He will raise you high that you may inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.Psalms 37:34 (The Israel Bible™)
קַוֵּה אֶל־יְהוָה וּשְׁמֹר דַּרְכּוֹ וִירוֹמִמְךָ לָרֶשֶׁת אָרֶץ בְּהִכָּרֵת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶה
Hear the verse in Hebrew

The Virtue of Patience
Who is worthy to inherit the Land of Israel? The psalmist comforts the righteous one who sees only the arrogant succeeding in the world. He speaks of the fleeting existence of the wicked and notes that they will ultimately fall. However, those who have faith in Hashem(God), wait patiently for Him, and who are humble, veer from evil and engage in acts of righteousness, will eventually inherit Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel) and inhabit it.
