Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous and His ears toward their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
Lord, keeping my tongue from evil and deceit, turning away from evil, and seeking and pursuing peace – clear and simple, but impossible tasks in my own strength. But You have heard my cry; You have sent Your Holy Spirit to guide me into all truth and to write Your Law on my heart. Then and only then, am I equipped and empowered to demonstrate my love and my fear of You by keeping Your commandments. Praise be unto You, my Lord and Master!
