Psalm 101 Contemporary English Version (CEV)🕊
Psalm 101 Contemporary English Version (CEV)🕊
(A psalm by David.)
A King and His Promises🕊
101:1 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,
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.🕊
