Psalms 34:13-18

13Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies!

14Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.

15The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right; his ears are open to their cries for help.

16But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil; he will erase their memory from the earth.

17The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles.

18The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
