¹ (A psalm by David.) 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.
