Psalms 101

(A psalm by David.)

A King and His Promises

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.
