"A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil."
— Psalms 101:4, World English Bible
“A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.”
“A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing. ”
“I will have nothing to do with a perverse person; I will not permit evil.”
“For my days are vanished like smoke, and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.”
“The false heart I will send away from me: I will not have an evil-doer for a friend.”
“A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.”
I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.
I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.
A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.
I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.
My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.
He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.
