WORSHIP

Psalm 101:1-3
I will sing of your love and justice.
I will praise you, LORD, with songs.
I will be careful to live a blameless life—
when will you come to my aid?
I will lead a life of integrity in my own home.
I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar.
I hate all crooked dealings;
I will have nothing to do with them.
