Psalm 101:3-8
New International Version
3 I will not look with approval
on anything that is vile.(A)
I hate what faithless people do;(B)
I will have no part in it.
4 The perverse of heart(C) shall be far from me;
I will have nothing to do with what is evil.
5 Whoever slanders their neighbor(D) in secret,
I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes(E) and a proud heart,
I will not tolerate.
6 My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless(F)
will minister to me.
7 No one who practices deceit
will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
will stand in my presence.
Psalm 101:3-8
King James Version
3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the Lord.
