(A Song of David)

I will sing of your love and justice, Lord. I will praise you with songs. 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. I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them. I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil. I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not endure conceit or pride.

I will search for faithful people to be my companions. Only those who are above reproach will be allowed to serve me. I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house, and liars will not stay in my presence. My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked and free the city of the Lord from their grip.

Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship Him with gladness. Come before Him, singing with joy. Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us and we are His. We are His people, the sheep of His pasture.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving; go into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name.

For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and His faithfulness continues to each generation.

Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise before the Lord, for He is coming! He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice, and the nations with His truth. (vv. 9-13, NLT)

Joyful are those You discipline, Lord, those You teach with Your instructions. You give them relief from troubled times until a pit is dug to capture the wicked.
