A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not (A)know wickedness.

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;
(B)The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure.

My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land,
That they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a [a]perfect way,
He shall serve me.

  1. Psalm 101:6 blameless

The perverse of heart(A) shall be far from me;
    I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

Whoever slanders their neighbor(B) in secret,
    I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes(C) and a proud heart,
    I will not tolerate.

My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
    that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless(D)
    will minister to me.
