And loves many days, that he may see good?

10 For
(A)“He who would love life
And see good days,
(B)Let him [a]refrain his tongue from evil,
And his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Let him (C)turn away from evil and do good;
(D)Let him seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
(E)And His ears are open to their prayers;
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
