I will teach you to honor the . Lord 12Which of you is desirous of life, and happy days? 13Then guard your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. 14Depart from evil, and do good; and pursue it. 15The eyes of the Lord are towards the righteous, his ears are towards their cry for help. 16The sets Lordhis face against those who do evil, to root their memory out of the earth. 17When righteous cry, they are heard by the , Lordand he saves them from all their distresses. 18The Lordis near to the broken-hearted, he helps those whose spirit is crushed. 19Many misfortunes befall the righteous, but the Lorddelivers them out of them all. 20He guards all their bones, none are broken. 21Misfortune will slay the ungodly; those who hate the righteous are doomed.
