Psalms 101:2-8
I will pay attention to the way of integrity. When will you come to me? I will live with a heart of integrity in my house.I will not let anything worthless guide me. I hate the practice of transgression; it will not cling to me.A devious heart will be far from me; I will not be involved with evil.I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor; I cannot tolerate anyone with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.My eyes favor the faithful of the land so that they may sit down with me. The one who follows the way of integrity may serve me.No one who acts deceitfully will live in my palace; the one who tells lies will not be retained here to guide me.Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, wiping out all evildoers from the LORD’s city.
