A Psalm of David. O LORD, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill? He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart; who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend; in whose eyes a vile person is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; who swears to his own hurt and does not change; who does not put out his money at interest and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
Isn't this interesting. My criteria for choosing close associates has to be drawn from the pool of those who demonstrate a reverential fear of the LORD. Look at the list of behaviors. It is neither exhaustive nor absolute but is indicative of a transformed heart.
Today's readings in the Psalms:
Morning: Psalm 11
