“Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.”
Psalms 101:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 101:5
This verse addresses three sins: slander (lashon hara in Jewish tradition), pride, and arrogance. David's commitment to 'cut off' and not 'suffer' such people demonstrates zero tolerance for these character defects in his administration. The Hebrew for 'proud heart' (rechab lebab) indicates an expanded, haughty spirit. Reformed theology recognizes pride as the root of all sin, the very offense that caused Satan's fall. Christ, by contrast, demonstrated humility (Phil 2:5-8).
