Context of Psalms 101:7

5Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will silence; The one who has a haughty look and a proud (arrogant) heart I will not tolerate. 6My eyes will be on the faithful (honorable) of the land, that they may dwell with me; He who walks blamelessly is the one who will minister to and serve me. He who practices deceit will not dwell in my house; He who tells lies and half-truths will not continue [to remain] in my presence. 8Morning after morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, That I may cut off from the city of the Lord all those who do evil.
