Psalm 101:1-8 CEV

[1] I will sing to you, LORD! I will celebrate your kindness and your justice. [2] Please help me learn to do the right thing, and I will be honest and fair in my own kingdom. [3] I refuse to be corrupt or to take part in anything crooked, [4] and I won't be dishonest or deceitful. [5] Anyone who spreads gossip will be silenced, and no one who is conceited will be my friend. [6] I will find trustworthy people to serve as my advisors, and only an honest person will serve as an official. [7] No one who cheats or lies will have a position in my royal court. [8] Each morning I will silence any lawbreakers I find in the countryside or in the city of the LORD.
