Dual Panel1My theme song is God's love and justice, and I'm singing it right to you, GOD.
2I'm finding my way down the road of right living, but how long before you show up? I'm doing the very best I can, and I'm doing it at home, where it counts.
3I refuse to take a second look at corrupting people and degrading things. I reject made-in-Canaan gods, stay clear of contamination.
4The crooked in heart keep their distance; I refuse to shake hands with those who plan evil.
5I put a gag on the gossip who bad-mouths his neighbor; I can't stand arrogance.
6But I have my eye on salt-of-the-earth people--they're the ones I want working with me; Men and women on the straight and narrow--these are the ones I want at my side.
7But no one who traffics in lies gets a job with me; I have no patience with liars. I've rounded up all the wicked like cattle and herded them right out of the country.
8I purged GOD's city of all who make a business of evil.
