right living

Though written so long ago, think about this psalm in light of our world today...

Psalm 101


1 I will sing of your love and justice, LORD.

  I will praise you with songs.

2 I will be careful to live a blameless life—

  when will you come to help me?

I will lead a life of integrity

  in my own home.

3 I will refuse to look at

  anything vile and vulgar.

I hate all who deal crookedly;

  I will have nothing to do with them.

4 I will reject perverse ideas

  and stay away from every evil.

5 I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors.

  I will not endure conceit and pride.


6 I will search for faithful people

  to be my companions.

Only those who are above reproach

  will be allowed to serve me.

7 I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house,

  and liars will not stay in my presence.

8 My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked

  and free the city of the LORD from their grip.
