[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.


Psalms 101:1-8 NLT
