12 Who is the man who desires life,
    and loves a long life in order to see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil,
    and your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Turn away from evil, and do good;
    seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
    and His ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against the ones doing evil,
    to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
