Psalms 34:14

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 34:14. Depart from evil, and do good;

Get away from evil as far as you can; that is the negative side. Do good, that is the positive side of piety. He who obeys these two commands shall find happiness and blessing.

Psalms 34:14. Seek peace, and pursue it.

Do not be of an angry, irritable, quarrelsome frame of mind. If you do not at once find peace, seek it; and if it runs away from you, pursue it until you overtake it. Remember that it is the meek who shall inherit the earth, and that it is the peaceful spirit that is the happiest spirit.
