A Prayer for Integrity
To have integrity is to be “one” all the way through—no deceit or hidden places.
Psalm 101 is a beautiful prayer for integrity, and it’s an aspiration for my own life.
What about you?
“I will conduct the affairs of my house
with a blameless heart.
I will not look with approval
on anything that is vile.”
Psalm 101
Of David. A psalm.
1 I will sing of your love and justice;
to you, Lord, I will sing praise.
2 I will be careful to lead a blameless life—
when will you come to me?I will conduct the affairs of my house
with a blameless heart.
3 I will not look with approval
on anything that is vile.I hate what faithless people do;
I will have no part in it.
4 The perverse of heart shall be far from me;
I will have nothing to do with what is evil.5 Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret,
I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart,
I will not tolerate.6 My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
the one 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.
