12 ·The Lord sees the good people [L The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous]
    and ·listens to [L his ears on] their prayers.
But the [L face of the] Lord is against
    those who do evil [Ps. 34:12–16; compare Rom. 12:9–17].”

13 If you are ·trying hard [eager; zealous; passionate] to do good, ·no one [L who…?] can really ·hurt [harm; do evil to; mistreat] you. 14 But even if you suffer for ·doing right [righteousness], you are blessed [Matt. 5:10].

“Don’t be afraid of ·what they fear [or their threats/intimidation];
    do not ·dread those things [be disturbed/intimidated; Is. 8:12–13].”
