Psalm 101

I got this from a book I'm reading (so I won't take credit for it. hehe)...

David implies in Psalm 101, character begins with YOURSELF.

He decided to avoid:

• Vile things
• Faithlessness
• Perversity
• Evil
• Slander
• Pride and haughtiness
• Deceit
• Wickedess
  

What an incredible list of character traits to avoid!!

<sup>Psalm 101:2-8

2</sup> I will be careful to lead a blameless life—
when will you come to me?
I will walk in my house
with blameless heart.

³ I will set before my eyes
no vile thing.
The deeds of faithless men I hate;
they will not cling to me.

⁴ Men of perverse heart shall be far from me;
I will have nothing to do with evil.

⁵ 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.

⁶ 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.

⁷ No one who practices deceit
will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
will stand in my presence.

⁸ 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.
