10For thei one who wants to love life

and to see good days,

let him keep his tongue from evilj

and his lips from speaking deceit,k

11and let him turn awayl from evil

and do what is good.

Let him seek peacem and pursue it,

12because the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous

and his ears are open to their prayer.

But the face of the Lord is against

those who do what is evil.B
