Psalm 101:2-3 Part 2 of 2

I will be careful to live a blameless life--
    when will you come to help me?
I will lead a life of integrity
    in my own home.
I will refuse to look at 
    anything vile and vulgar.
I hate all who deal crookedly;
    I will have nothing to do with them.
 
I will lead a life of integrity in my own home. I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar.

The LORD says, "O Israel, when I first found you,

When I saw your ancestors,

But then they deserted me for Baal-Peor,
    giving themselves to that shameful idol.
Soon they became vile, 
    as vile as the god they worshiped."  (see all chapter 9)
 
I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them.

The guilty walk a crooked path;
    the innocent travel a straight road.

They have mapped out crooked roads,
