Verse 4 is found in chapter 101 of Psalms. Psalm 101 presents an ethical program for one exercising authority in the royal household. The commitment to sing of mercy and justice is accompanied by concrete decisions: avoiding perversity, rejecting slander, and refusing to tolerate deceitful conduct. Authority is measured by the character of those admitted into its sphere. The goal is to establish a political community where integrity and faithfulness are conditions of service.

Ein verkehrtes Herz muß von mir weichen; den Bösen leide ich nicht.
Corazón perverso se apartará de mí; No conoceré al malvado.
El corazón perverso se apartará de mí; no tendré trato con el mal.
Le coeur pervers s'éloignera de moi; Je ne veux pas connaître le méchant.
Il cuor perverso si dipartirà da me; Io non conoscerò il malvagio.
Um coração perverso se apartará de mim; não conhecerei o homem mau.
歪曲的心思,我必遠離; 邪惡的事情,我不知道。
