Psalm 101:5–6

5 Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret,

I will put to silence;

whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart,

I will not tolerate.

6 My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,

that they may dwell with me;

the one whose walk is blameless

will minister to me.

5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off:

Him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

6 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.

5 I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors.

I will not endure conceit and pride.

6 I will search for faithful people

to be my companions.

Only those who are above reproach

will be allowed to serve me.

5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,

Him I will destroy;

The 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 a perfect way,

He shall serve me.

5 If anyone secretly says things against his neighbor,

I will stop him.

I will not allow people

to be proud and look down on others.

6 I will look for trustworthy people

so I can live with them in the land.

Only those who live innocent lives

will be my servants.

5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy:

Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

6 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 minister unto me.

5 Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer. 6 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.

5 I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor. 

I will not tolerate anyone with a conceited look or arrogant heart. 

6 My eyes will be watching the faithful people in the land 

so that they may live with me. 

The person who lives with integrity will serve me. 

5 I will destroy anyone

who secretly slanders his neighbor;

I cannot tolerate anyone

with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.

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.

5 One who secretly slanders a neighbor

he shall minister to me.

5 I will get rid of anyone

who tells lies about his neighbor in secret.

I won’t put up with anyone

whose eyes and heart are proud.

6 I will look with favor on the faithful people in the land.

They will live with me.

Those whose lives are without blame will serve me.

5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy;

No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.

6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;

He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me.
