“Whoever would love life
    and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
    and their lips from deceitful speech.
¹¹ They must turn from evil and do good;
    they must seek peace and pursue it.

⁷ Let the wicked forsake^(A) their ways
    and the unrighteous their thoughts.^(B)
Let them turn^(C) to the Lord, and he will have mercy^(D) on them,
    and to our God, for he will freely pardon.^(E)

⁶ We all, like sheep, have gone astray,^(A)
    each of us has turned to our own way;^(B)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity^(C) of us all.
