12 Who among you takes pleasure in life

And would love to see many good days?+

13 Then guard your tongue from what is bad,+

Your lips from speaking deception.+

14 Turn away from what is bad and do what is good;+

Seek peace and pursue it.+

15 The eyes of Jehovah are on the righteous,+

And his ears listen to their cry for help.+

16 But the face of Jehovah is against those doing what is bad,

To erase all memory of them from the earth.+
