Psalm 34:12-16

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹²Which of you desires life,
    and covets many days to enjoy good?
¹³Keep your tongue from evil,
    and your lips from speaking deceit.
¹⁴Depart from evil, and do good;
    seek peace, and pursue it.

¹⁵The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry.
¹⁶The face of the Lord is against evildoers,
to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
