Psalm 34:11-22
English Standard Version
11 (A)Come, O children, listen to me;
(B)I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 (C)What man is there who desires life
and loves many days, that he may (D)see good?
13 (E)Keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from (F)speaking deceit.
14 (G)Turn away from evil and do good;
seek peace and (H)pursue it.
15 (I)The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
(J)and his ears toward their cry.
16 (K)The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to (L)cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 (M)When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to (N)the brokenhearted
and saves (O)the crushed in spirit.
19 (P)Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
(Q)but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones;
(R)not one of them is broken.
21 (S)Affliction will slay the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord (T)redeems the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in him will be (U)condemned.

King James Version
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
