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.

Promised Faithfulness to the Lord

A Psalm of David.

101 I will sing of mercy and justice;
To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.

I will behave wisely in a [a]perfect way.
Oh, when will You come to me?
I will (A)walk within my house with a perfect heart.

I will set nothing [b]wicked before my eyes;
(B)I hate the work of those (C)who fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
