I Will Walk with Integrity
I will
sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will make music. I will
ponder the way that is blameless. Oh when will you come to me? I will walk with
integrity of heart within my house; I will not set before my eyes anything that
is worthless.
I
hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me. A perverse
heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil.
Whoever slanders his neighbour secretly I will destroy. Whoever has a haughty
look and an arrogant heart I will not endure. I will look with favour on the
faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way that
is blameless shall minister to me.
No
one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall
continue before my eyes. Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked in
the land, cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.
Following
our Lord sets us apart. This is believed to be a psalm David wrote for future
generations to uphold when their time to reign came. These are the
characteristics of a godly king. Our Lord teaches us to not conform to the
standards of the world we live in, but, let His Word transform us that as
children of the King we also would live lives that honour our Father and King.
