Psalm 34:12-16

Revised Standard Version

¹²What man is there who desires life,
    and covets many days, that he may enjoy good?
¹³Keep your tongue from evil,
    and your lips from speaking deceit.
¹⁴Depart from evil, and do good;
    seek peace, and pursue it.

¹⁵The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous,
and his ears toward their cry.
¹⁶The face of the Lord is against evildoers,
to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
