Prayers From The Psalms: Purity

I will ponder the way that is blameless.
Oh when will you come to me?
I will walk with integrity of heart
within my house;
I will not set before my eyes
anything that is worthless.
I hate the work of those who fall away;
it shall not cling to me.
A perverse heart shall be far from me;
I will know nothing of evil. - Psalm 101:2-4 (ESV)


Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things;
and give me life in your ways. - Psalm 119:37 (ESV)


How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your word. - Psalm 119:9 (ESV)

Open my eyes, that I may behold
wondrous things out of your law. - Psalm 119:18 (ESV)
