Psalms 101:4

A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.

Young's Literal Translation

In The King James Version

A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

3I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.

5Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.
