12 What man is there who desires life,

and covets many days, that he may enjoy good?

13 Keep your tongue from evil,

and your lips from speaking deceit.

14 Depart from evil, and do good;

seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous,

and his ears toward their cry.

16 The face of the Lord is against evildoers,

to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
