14Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
15Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
16The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer:
17but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord hearkened to them,
18and delivered them out of all their afflictions.
19The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.
20Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but out of them all the Lord will deliver them.
