Psalm 34:12-16

Common English Bible

¹² Do you love life;
    do you relish the chance to enjoy good things?
¹³     Then you must keep your tongue from evil
        and 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.
