PSALM 101

. In this Psalm the profession of the principles of his
domestic and political government testifies, as well as actions in
accordance with it, David's appreciation of God's mercy to him, and
His judgment on his enemies: and thus he sings or celebrates God's
dealings.

**2.** He avows his sincere purpose,
by God's aid, to act uprightly ([Genesis 17:1](../../../kjv/genesis/17/1);
[Psalms 18:30](../../../kjv/psalms/18/30)).

**3. set . . . eyes**—as an
example to be approved and followed.
**no wicked thing**—literally,
"word," plan or purpose of Belial ().
**work of . . .
aside**—apostates.
**not cleave to me**—I will
not be implicated in it (compare ).

**4. A froward heart**—or,
"perverse heart" (). Such a temper I will not indulge, nor even know evil or
wickedness.

**5, 6.** The slanderers and haughty
persons, so mischievous in society, I will disown; but—

**6. Mine eyes . . . upon**—or, I
will select reliable and honest men for my servants.

**7. not dwell**—literally, "not
sit," or tarry, or be established.

**8. will early**—or,
"diligently."
**city of the Lord**—or,
"holy place" ([Psalms 48:2](../../../kjv/psalms/48/2)),
where wicked men shall not be tolerated.
