Who is the man that would live long,
and lead a blessed life?
See thou refrain thy lips and tongue
from all deceit and strife.
13, 14, 15.
Refrain thee still from doing ill,
and all good deeds embrace:
Inquire for peace and quietness,
and follow it apace.
Because the Lord's most gracious eye
upon the just is bent:
His ears are open to the cry
of all the innocent.
16, 17.
But he looks down with angry frown
upon the wicked train;
To cut their memory from the Earth,
that none of them remain▪
But when the just do call and cry
the Lord doth hear them so,
That out of pain and misery
he lets them timely go.
