Psalm 101:6-8 Part 2 of 2

I will search for faithful people

    to be my companions.

Only those who are above reproach

    will be allowed to serve me.

I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house,

    and liars will not stay in my presence.

My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked

    and free the city of the LORD from their grip.

 

and liars will not stay in my presence.
