The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil

 Psalm 101:1-8

I will be careful to lead a blameless life— when will you come to me?

I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heartI will not look with approval on anything that is vile.

The perverse of heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

I hate what faithless people doI will have no part in it. The perverse of heart shall be far from meI will have nothing to do with what is evil.

Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silencewhoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate.

My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with methe one whose walk is blameless will minister to me.

No one who practices deceit will dwell in my houseno one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence.

I will cut off every evildoer from the city of the Lord.

Why?

David did many right things, but he still has sins with other's wife. So David said I will be careful to lead a blameless life. This is a decision to do the right thing.

The perverse of heart shall be far from me, I will have nothing to do with what is evil. This is a perverb to all of us.

Doing the right thing and keeping my heart away from the evil mind.

Not only do the right things but also hate evil.

大衛知道自己做不到,所以心願是行神的道,存完全的心來行,即正直、單純的心,不是做給人看。行在我的家中,指的是他治理的國家中。也可以解釋自己的家中,最自然的地方,最不需要刻意討好人,怕犯錯的狀態。在自然的情形可以行神的道,其他地方亦然。

完全的道的內容在v3~5。彎曲的心思,不走正道,找律法的漏洞,好像律法沒有說的跑去做,律法有說的卻不熱心去做。暗中讒謗他鄰居的:表裏不一。使用表裏一致、心中誠實正直的人。樂意歌唱,本來就有殷切期盼、渴慕神的心。求神到他這裏來,即與神同在!

How?

Do my best to be a good servant before the Lord.
