Psalms 34:16 in context

Psalms 34:13–19

Keep your tongue from evil,

and your lips from speaking lies.

Depart from evil, and do good.

Seek peace, and pursue it.

The LORD’s eyes are toward the righteous.

His ears listen to their cry.

Selected verse

The LORD’s face is against those who do evil,

to cut off their memory from the earth.

The righteous cry, and the LORD hears,

and delivers them out of all their troubles.

The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart,

and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous,

but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
