Evangelical Heritage Version

Righteousness in His Court

3 I will not tolerate an evil[a] cause in my sight.
I hate unfaithfulness and apostasy.[b]
It will not stick to me.
4 A perverted heart shall be kept far from me.
I will not acknowledge evil.
5 I will silence anyone who slanders his neighbor in secret.
I cannot tolerate anyone who has arrogant eyes and a proud heart.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 101:3 Or devilish. The Hebrew word is belial, which means without restraint or without worth. In late Hebrew it became a name of Satan.
  2. Psalm 101:3 The meaning of the line is uncertain. It seems to read I hate doing of apostasies.
