A king and his promises
1I will sing to you, Lord! I will celebrate your kindness and your justice.
2Please help me learn to do the right thing, and I will be honest and fair in my own kingdom.
3I refuse to be corrupt or to take part in anything crooked,
4and I won't be dishonest or deceitful.
5Anyone who spreads gossip will be silenced, and no one who is conceited will be my friend.
6I will find trustworthy people to serve as my advisers, and only an honest person will serve as an official.
7No one who cheats or lies will have a position in my royal court.
8Each morning I will silence any lawbreakers I find in the countryside or in the city of the Lord.
