Psalms 101

The king promises to do what is right #101:1 David promises to serve God and to rule his people well.

1I will sing and praise you, Lord! I will sing about your faithful love and your justice.

2I will be careful to live in a completely good way. When will you come to help me, Lord? In my own home, I will always be completely honest.

3As for evil things, I will not even think about them. I hate the things that wicked people do. They will not be my friends.

4I will keep away from people with wrong thoughts. I will not mix with them.

5If anyone secretly speaks against his friend, I will destroy them. If anyone is proud and they boast about themselves, I will send them away from me.

6Instead, I will work with people that I can trust. I will let them live with me and be my guides. My servants will be people who live in an honest way.

7People who deceive others or who tell lies will not have a place in my home.

8Every morning I will remove any wicked person who lives in our land. Nobody who does evil things will remain in the city of the Lord.
