Let our daily testimony be as David's in Psalms 101...

Michael Angelo's sculpture of David
Psalm 101 (New Living Translation (NLT))
A psalm of David.

1 I will sing of your love and justice, Lord.
         I will praise you with songs.


2 I will be careful to live a blameless life—
         when will you come to help me?


   I will lead a life of integrity
         in my own home.


 3 I will refuse to look at
        anything vile and vulgar.


    I hate all who deal crookedly;
        I will have nothing to do with them.


4 I will reject perverse ideas
        and stay away from every evil.


5 I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors.
        I will not endure conceit and pride.


6 I will search for faithful people
        to be my companions.
   
   Only those who are above reproach
        will be allowed to serve me.


 7 I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house,
         and liars will not stay in my presence.


 8 My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked
         and free the city of the Lord from their grip.

[I pray with David, LORD -- Search me and know my heart, Test me and know my thoughts. Point out within me anything that displeases you LORD and lead me along the paths of everlasting life.]
