<p id="Ps101_1"><a onclick="return mV('Psa',101,'1-8');">Psa 101:1-8</a>.
<p>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.
<p id="Ps101_2"><b>2.</b> He avows his sincere purpose, by God's aid, to act uprightly (<a onclick="return mV('Gen',17,1);">Gen 17:1</a> <a onclick="return mV('Psa',18,30);">Psa 18:30</a>).
<p id="Ps101_3"><b>3. set...eyes</b>&#8212;as an example to be approved and followed.
<br><br><b>no wicked thing</b>&#8212;literally, "word," plan or purpose of Belial (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',41,8);">Psa 41:8</a>).
<br><br><b>work of...aside</b>&#8212;apostates.
<br><br><b>not cleave to me</b>&#8212;I will not be implicated in it (compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',1,'1-3');">Psa 1:1-3</a>).
<p id="Ps101_4"><b>4. A froward heart</b>&#8212;or, "perverse heart" (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',18,26);">Psa 18:26</a>). Such a temper I will not indulge, nor even know evil or wickedness.
<p id="Ps101_5"><b>5, 6.</b> The slanderers and haughty persons, so mischievous in society, I will disown; but&#8212;
<p id="Ps101_6"><b>6. Mine eyes...upon</b>&#8212;or, I will select reliable and honest men for my servants.
<p id="Ps101_7"><b>7. not dwell</b>&#8212;literally, "not sit," or tarry, or be established.
<p id="Ps101_8"><b>8. will early</b>&#8212;or, "diligently."
<br><br><b>city of the Lord</b>&#8212;or, "holy place" (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',48,2);">Psa 48:2</a>), where wicked men shall not be tolerated.
