Psalms 34:14-22

14 1Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and 2pursue it.

15The 3eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous And His ears are open to their cry.16The 4face of the Lord is against evildoers, To 5cut off the memory of them from the earth.17The righteous 6cry, and the Lord hears And delivers them out of all their troubles.18The Lord 7is near to the 8brokenhearted And saves those who are 9 10crushed in spirit.

19 11Many are the 12afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord 13delivers him out of them all.20He keeps all his bones, 14Not one of them is broken.21 15Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous will be 16condemned.22The Lord 17redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who 18take refuge in Him will be 19condemned.
