“A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.”
Psalms 101:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 101:4
The Hebrew 'froward' (iqqesh) denotes perversion or moral crookedness. David's resolve to distance himself from wickedness reflects the biblical principle of separation from evil (2 Cor 6:17). This verse establishes a standard for godly leadership: the ruler's personal holiness must precede his public administration. The Reformed emphasis on total depravity reminds us that such purity is only possible through God's sanctifying grace, pointing ultimately to Christ who perfectly embodied this standard.
