- Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
- Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
- keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
- Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
- The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry;
|
- the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
- The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.
- The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
- A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;
- he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.
|
- Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
- The LORD redeems his servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.
