4 A devious heart will be far from me;

I will not be involved withC evil.ad

5 I will destroy anyone

who secretly slanders his neighbor;ae

I cannot tolerate anyone

with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.af

6 My eyes favor the faithful of the land

so that they may sit down with me.

The one who follows the way of integrity

may serve me.a

7 No one who acts deceitfully

will live in my palace;

the one who tells lies

will not be retained here to guide me.A,b
