“1 ¶ «A Psalm of David.» I will sing of mercy and justice; To You, O LORD, I will sing praises. 2 I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh, when will You come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. 3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me. 4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know wickedness. 5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, Him I will destroy; The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart, Him I will not endure. 6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me; He who walks in a perfect way, He shall serve me. 7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who tells lies shall not continue in my presence. 8 Early I will destroy all the wicked of the land, That I may cut off all the evildoers from the city of the LORD.” (Psalm 101:1-8 NKJV)

How can I live a perfect way

Help me hate and despise evil

Help me love mercy and justice

Help me sing praise to the LORD

Prayerful question: Does my prayer cry to the LORD for help in hating evil and loving God and His Way?

(Early followers of Jesus were called People of the Way.)
