Psalm 34:12-22

American Standard Version

¹² What man is he that desireth life,
And loveth many days, that he may see good?
¹³ Keep thy tongue from evil,
And thy lips from speaking guile.
¹⁴ Depart from evil, and do good;
Seek peace, and pursue it.
¹⁵ The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous,
And his ears are open unto their cry.
¹⁶ The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil,
To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
¹⁷ The righteous cried, and Jehovah heard,
And delivered them out of all their troubles.
¹⁸ Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart,
And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
¹⁹ Many are the afflictions of the righteous;
But Jehovah delivereth him out of them all.
²⁰ He keepeth all his bones:
Not one of them is broken.
²¹ Evil shall slay the wicked;
And they that hate the righteous shall be ^[a]condemned.
²² Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants;
And none of them that take refuge in him shall be condemned.
