Psalms 33:12-21

¹²What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days?

¹³Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.

¹⁴Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

¹⁵The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer:

¹⁶but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord listened to them,

¹⁷and delivered them out of all their afflictions.

¹⁸The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.

¹⁹Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but out of them all Lord will deliver them.

²⁰He keeps all their bones: not one of them shall be broken.

²¹The death of sinners is evil: and they that hate righteousness will go wrong.
