He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity,
         He who rejects unjust gain
         And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;
         He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed
         And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;Â
He will dwell on the heights,
         His refuge will be the impregnable rock;
         His bread will be given him,
         His water will be sure.Â
Your eyes will see the King in His beauty;
         They will behold a far-distant land.
For those who want to see above all the clatter of this world and see the lands of the kingdom of heaven. For those who want to feast their eyes on the King of Kings in all his beauty and majesty. For those who want to live on the spiritual heights in God full of bread (word) and water (spirit) there are some practical things you can do.
Watch the way you walk, watch what your hands do, watch what your ears hear and watch what your eyes see.
Walk - make all your every day steps follow Jesus. Make sure you stay doing God stuff and not your stuff.
Hands - don’t let your hands get things you want through bad means. Don’t be desiring things you can hold with your hands, but that which fills up your spirit.
Ears - let your ears only listen to good reports and encouraging words. Ignore that which will break down others or yourself.
Eyes - don’t look at that which you know isn’t good for you. Your eyes will corrupt your heart so keep them under control.
