Compare all
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not aknow wickedness. 
5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;
aThe one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure. 
6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land,
That they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a1 perfect way,
He shall serve me. 
7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who tells lies shall not1 continue in my presence. 
8 aEarly I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
That I may cut off all the evildoers bfrom the city of the Lord.

Psalms 101:6

Mine eyes - My approbation.

Upon the faithful - The humble, upright followers of God.

That they may dwell with me - Be my confidants and privy counsellors. No irreligious or wicked man, whatever his abilities may be, shall be countenanced or supported by me. I will purify my court from the base, the irreligious, the avaricious, the venal, the profligate, and the wicked.

He that walketh in a perfect way - He that is truly religious.

He shalt serve me - Shall be my prime minister, and the chief officer in my army, and over my finances.
