Saturday Psalm #15

Lord, I want to live where you dwell.
I want to stay forever on your holy hill.
I ask you for the blameless walk
and the right actions
and the honesty of heart that will make that happen.
I ask you to keep slander out of my mouth
and evil from my heart
and betrayal far, far from me.
I plead for wisdom to shun the vile,
hobnob with the holy,
and walk uprightly whichever way the wind blows.
Make me a giver instead of a taker
and a defender--not offender--of the innocent,
knowing that the one who does these things shall never be moved.
