Verse 14 is found in chapter 34 of Psalms. Psalm 34 combines personal testimony, communal praise, and wisdom teaching. The psalmist invites others to taste the goodness of the Lord after experiencing his deliverance. The second part adopts the tone of instruction for those who desire to live well: guard the tongue, turn away from evil, and seek peace. The statement that God is near to the brokenhearted shows that affliction does not mean divine abandonment.

Aparta-te do mal, e faze o bem; procura a paz, e segue-a.
要棄惡行善, 尋求和睦,一心追求。
