11 Come, you children, listen to me;
^aI will teach you the fear of the Lord.

And loves many days, that he may see good?

And your lips from speaking ^adeceit.

^bSeek peace and pursue it.

And His ears are open to their cry.

^bTo¹ cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

And delivers them out of all their troubles.

18 ^aThe Lord is near ^bto those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as¹ have a contrite spirit.

19 ^aMany are the afflictions of the righteous,
^bBut the Lord delivers him out of them all.
