CHRISTIANITY / BIBLE / PSALM 34
Come children. Listen to me.
I will teach you what it means to fear the Lord.
Do you want to really live?
Would you love to live a long, happy life?
Then make sure you don’t speak evil words
or use deceptive speech.
Turn away from evil and do what is right.
Strive for peace and promote it.
The Lord pays attention to the godly
and hears their cry for help.
But the Lord opposes evildoers
and wipes out all memory of them from the earth.
The godly cry out and the Lord hears;
he saves them from all their troubles.
The Lord is near the brokenhearted;
he delivers those who are discouraged.
The godly face many dangers,
but the Lord saves them from each one of them.
He protects all his bones;
not one of them is broken.
Evil people self-destruct;
those who hate the godly are punished.
The Lord rescues his servants;
all who take shelter in him escape punishment.
(Psalm 34:11-22, New English Translation)

NOTE:
A huge, important way to please God, and to have his favor, is to do good.
