I will sing of your love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will sing praise. I will be careful to lead a blameless life— when will you come to me? I will walk in my house with blameless heart. I will set before my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless men I hate; they will not cling to me.
Men of perverse heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with evil. Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him will I put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, him will I not endure. My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he whose walk is blameless will minister to me.
No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence. Every morning I will put to silence all the wicked in the land; I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
Talk about an attitude of gratitude! David really captured the idea here. This Psalm recalls the early days of our relationship with the Lord. First came the love and unbridled praise as we began to comprehend what the Lord has done for us. And then, overflowing with gratitude, we started consciously modifying our behavior, doing that which we knew would please Him and avoiding that which wouldn’t.
Blessings,
