Psalms
Psalm 101:5–7
5Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret,
I will put to silence;
the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart,
I will not endure.
6My eyes favor the faithful of the land,
that they may dwell with me;
he who walks in the way of integrity
shall minister to me.
7No one who practices deceit
shall dwell in my house;
no one who tells lies
shall stand in my presence.
