14 Do good instead of eviland try to live at peace.
15 If you obey the Lord,he will watch over youand answer your prayers.
16 But God despises evil people,and he will wipe them allfrom the earth,till they are forgotten.
17 When his people pray for help,he listens and rescues themfrom their troubles.
18 The Lord is there to rescueall who are discouragedand have given up hope.
19 The Lord's peoplemay suffer a lot,but he will alwaysbring them safely through.
20 Not one of their boneswill ever be broken.
