Psalm 101:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 Whoever slanders a neighbor in secret
I will reduce to silence.(A)
Haughty eyes and arrogant hearts(B)
I cannot endure.
II
6 I look to the faithful of the land[a]
to sit at my side.
Whoever follows the way of integrity(C)
is the one to enter my service.
7 No one who practices deceit
can remain within my house.
No one who speaks falsely
can last in my presence.(D)
