For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
