Context of Psalms 101:6
4A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil. 5Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer. 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. 7He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehoods shall not subsist in my sight. 8Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land: to cut off all workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
