Psalm 101:4-7

I Will Walk with Integrity

4 k A perverse heart shall be far from me;
I will l know nothing of evil.

5 Whoever slanders his neighbor m secretly
I will n destroy.
Whoever has a o haughty look and an p arrogant heart
I will not endure.

6 I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
he who walks in q the way that is blameless
shall minister to me.

7 No one who r practices deceit
shall dwell in my house;
no one who utters lies
shall s continue before my eyes.
