11 Come, my children, and listen to me; ♦︎
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Who is there who delights in life ♦︎
and longs for days to enjoy good things?
13 Keep your tongue from evil ♦︎
and your lips from lying words.
14 Turn from evil and do good; ♦︎
seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous ♦︎
and his ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, ♦︎
to root out the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry and the Lord hears them ♦︎
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted ♦︎
and will save those who are crushed in spirit.
