A Promise to Rule Well

A song of David.

101 I will sing of love and fairness.
    Lord, I will sing praises to you.
I will be careful to live an innocent life.
    When will you come to me?

I will live an innocent life in my house.
    I will not look at anything wicked.
I hate those who turn against you.
    They will not be found near me.
Let those who want to do wrong stay away from me.
    I will have nothing to do with evil.
If anyone secretly says things against his neighbor,
    I will stop him.
I will not allow people
    to be proud and look down on others.

I will look for trustworthy people
    so I can live with them in the land.
Only those who live innocent lives
    will be my servants.
No one who is dishonest will live in my house.
    No liars will stay around me.
Every morning I will destroy
    the wicked in the land.
I will rid the Lord’s city
    of people who do evil.
