Psalms 101:1-8

1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 I will set no wickeda thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarryb in my sight.

8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

Psalms 101 states the principles on which the King will govern His house and the land when He takes the kingdom in the name of Jehovah. Psalms 93 is the thesis, Jehovah reigns: the rage of men, the supreme authority of Jehovah, the holiness that becomes His house. Psalms 94 begins the series with the cry of the remnant when iniquity is still on the throne. Psalms 95 Israel (the remnant) summoned in the closing day. Psalms 96 the Gentiles called, Jehovah coming to judge the earth. Psalms 97 Jehovah is on His way. Psalms 98 He has executed judgment on the earth and remembered Israel. Psalms 99 He has taken His throne on earth in Zion. Psalms 100 Israel is there as His people; but it is a call to worship Jehovah. Still a house of prayer for all the earth: for Israel, mercy, for they had sinned; truth, for God had promised, and, as said elsewhere, they had now met together. Psalms 101 when the earthly throne is taken up, it is mercy and judgment.
