When will You come to me?

I hate the practice of transgression;
it will not cling to me. Dt 15:9; Ps 40:4
4A devious heart will be far from me;
I will not be involved with Lit not know evil. Pr 3:32; 14:2

who secretly slanders his neighbor; Ps 50:20

with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart. Ps 18:27; Is 5:15

so that they may sit down with me.
The one who follows the way of integrity
may serve me. Ps 119:1; Pr 11:20
7No one who acts deceitfully
will live in my palace;
no one who tells lies
will remain in my presence. Lit in front of my eyes Ps 31:18; 52:3; 63:11
8Every morning I will destroy
all the wicked of the land,
eliminating all evildoers from the Lord’s city. Ps 119:119; Jr 21:12
