Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

11Come, you children, listen to me;

I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

12Who is the person who desires life

And loves length of days, that he may see good?

13Keep your tongue from evil

And your lips from speaking deceit.

14Turn from evil and do good;

Seek peace and pursue it.

15The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous,

And His ears are toward their cry for help.

16The face of the Lord is against evildoers,

To eliminate the memory of them from the earth.

17The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears

And rescues them from all their troubles.

18The Lord is near to the brokenhearted

And saves those who are crushed in spirit.

19The afflictions of the righteous are many,

But the Lord rescues him from them all.

20He protects all his bones,

Not one of them is broken.

21Evil will bring death to the wicked,

And those who hate the righteous will suffer for their guilt.

22The Lord redeems the souls of His servants,

And none of those who take refuge in Him will suffer for their guilt.
