Opening the chapter…
God, I will sing to you! I will sing about your faithful and just loyalty to us.
I promise that while I rule people, I will behave in such a way that no one will be able to criticize me. God, when will you come to help me? I will do things that are right.
I will not allow anyone who does what is evil to come to me. I hate the deeds of those who turn away from you; I will completely avoid those people.
I will not be dishonest, and I will not have anything to do with evil.
I will get rid of anyone who secretly slanders someone else, and I will not let anyone near me who is proud and arrogant.
I will approve of people in this land who are loyal to God, and I will allow them to live with me. I will allow to serve me those who behave in such a way that no one can criticize them.
I will not allow anyone who deceives others to work in my palace, and no one who tells lies will be allowed to continually come to work for me.
Every day I will try to get rid of all the wicked people in this land; I will expel them from this city, which is God's city.
