A psalm of David.
1 I will sing of Your love and justice, LORD. I will praise You with songs.
2 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.
3 I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them.
4 I will reject perverse ideas and stay away from every evil.
5 I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors. I will not endure conceit and pride.
6 I will search for faithful people to be my companions. Only those who are above reproach will be allowed to serve me.
7 I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house, and liars will not stay in my presence.
8 My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked and free the city of the LORD from their grip.
David's seven statements starting with "I will..." highlight our need to make an ongoing, daily choice to take care to live a godly life. David recognizes that he needs to ask God for help to live a life of integrity.
In John 15:4 Jesus says, "Abide in Me..." and continuing in v. 5b He says, "For without Me you can do nothing."
Commit yourself to abide in Jesus and to do the works of God!
