1 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; no one who is conceited will be my friend.
6 I will find trustworthy people to serve as my advisors; 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.
