IntegrityLeadershipJusticeFaithfulness
1I will sing of your faithful love and good judgment. I will sing praises to you, Lord.
2I will make sure my life is blameless. When will you come and help me? My life will be one of integrity even in private.
3I will not look at anything evil. I hate doing wrong—I won't have anything to do with it.
4I won't think bad thoughts—I won't even consider anything evil.
5I will silence anyone who secretly slanders their neighbor. I won't tolerate anyone who is proud and arrogant.
6I look for faithful people to live with me; only those who are trustworthy will serve me.
7No one who is dishonest will live in my house; no liars will be allowed in my presence.
8I work every day to silence the wicked in the land, to rid the city of the Lord of all who do evil.
