11 Come, ye children, and hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 What man is he that lusteth to live: and would fain see good days?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil: and thy lips, that they speak no guile.
14 Eschew evil, and do good: seek peace, and ensue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous: and his ears are open unto their prayers.
16 The countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil: to root out the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth them: and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and will save such as be of an humble spirit.
19 Great are the troubles of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: so that not one of them is broken.
