Context of Psalms 101:5
3I will set no thing of Belial before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. 4A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil. Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer. 6Mine 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. 7He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehoods shall not subsist in my sight.
