מִי הָאִישׁ
הֶחָפֵץ חַיִּים
אֹהֵב יָמִים
אֹהֵב יָמִים לִרְאוֹת טוֹב.
נְצֹר לְשׁוֹנְךָ מֵרָע
וּשְׂפָתֶיךָ מִדַּבֵּר מִרְמָה.
סוּר מֵרָע וַעֲשֵׂה-טוֹב;
בַּקֵּשׁ שָׁלוֹם וְרָדְפֵהוּ

Translation:

Who is the man
who desires life
loves days,
loves day [in order] to see good?
Keep your tongue [from speaking] evil
and your lips from deceitful speech
Turn away from evil and [rather] do good.
Seek peace and pursue it.
