Psalms 34:14-22

14Turn away from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.

15The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous [those with moral courage and spiritual integrity] And His ears are open to their cry.

16The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, To cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17When the righteous cry [for help], the Lord hears And rescues them from all their distress and troubles.

18The Lord is near to the heartbroken And He saves those who are crushed in spirit (contrite in heart, truly sorry for their sin).

19Many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous, But the Lord rescues him from them all.

20He keeps all his bones; Not one of them is broken.

21Evil will cause the death of the wicked, And those who hate the righteous will be held guilty and will be condemned.

22The Lord redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
