[verse 11] COme children hearken unto me,
Gods fear I teach to you:
[verse 12] Who longs for life, good things to see,
And dayes desires not few.
[verse 13] The lying lips where falshood breeds,
And wicked words refrain:
[verse 14] Depart from evill, do good deeds,
Seek peace, and peace maintain.
[verse 15] Upon the righteous every where,
God casts intentive eies:
And opens his attentive ear
To their uncessant cries.
[verse 16] 'Gainst workers of iniquitie,
An angry brow he frames,
To cut from earth the memory
Of their detested names.
[verse 17] The righteous cry, the Lord doth hear,
And all their troubles ends.
[verse 18] To broken hearts the Lord is near,
And contrite souls defends.
[verse 19] Great are th' afflictions, which befall
The LORDS most holy ones:
But God shall help them out of all,
[verse 20] And keepeth all his bones:* 1.1
So that not one of them is burst.
[verse 21] But mischief slays the lewd:
Who hate the righteous shall be curs'd,
And utterly subdu'd.
[verse 22] The Lord redeems from captive state
His servants souls each one:* 1.2
And there shall none be desolate
That trust in him alone.
