12 Do you love life;do you relish the chance to enjoy good things?
13 Then you must keep your tongue from eviland keep your lips from speaking lies!
14 Turn away from evil! Do good!Seek peace and go after it!
15 The Lord’s eyes watch the righteous,his ears listen to their cries for help.
16 But the Lord’s face is set against those who do evil,to eliminate even the memory of them from the earth.
17 When the righteous cry out, the Lord listens;he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;he saves those whose spirits are crushed.
