Bread. Through excessive sorrow, (Haydock) I am fainting in captivity. (Calmet) --- The human race is relieved by the bread of life, the holy Eucharist. (St. Augustine) (Berthier) --- Sinners have no relish for spiritual food. (Worthington) read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 101:1-8

The Principles of Right Government. A psalm of David, in which he set forth the guiding rules of his life, especially those of his reign, showing, at the same time, his appreciation of God's mercy to him and celebrating Jehovah's kindness. v. 1. I will sing of mercy and judgment, of grace as given in the Gospel and appropriated by faith, and of justice, as shown by the Lord in dealing with the believers, the glorious example held before all rulers for careful emulation; unto Thee, O Lord,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 101:1-8

My Righteous Purpose Psalms 101:1-8 This psalm, as the title indicates, was composed by David, probably at the commencement of his reign. It contains a number of resolutions upon which he was prepared to act. First, he made up his mind that he would give heed to the perfect way , and would walk in his house in the integrity of his heart, Psalms 101:2 , r.v., margin. Next, he made up his mind to choose his friends with rigorous care, that froward hearts and evil persons should depart from... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 101:1-8

A fine sense of the fitness of things is exhibited by the editor of the psalter in placing this psalm here. Following immediately upon the songs of the enthroned Jehovah, in which there has been perpetually recurrent the recognition of the holiness of His reign, it describes the true attitude of the earthly ruler who recognises the sovereignty of God, and how that ought to affect his own life and rule. It is clear testimony moreover, to the fact that private and public life are very closely... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 101:1-8

CI. The Ideal Ruler.— The main purport is clear. The ideal ruler is faithful to the high standard which he sets before himself ( Psalms 101:2 b – Psalms 101:4). He requires ( Psalms 101:5-Ruth :) the same strict observance from others. The crux of the Ps. is 1, 2 a. Mercy and judgment, unless another meaning is suggested by the context, would refer to the Divine mercy and justice, but of this the Psalmist makes no mention. The question, moreover, “ When wilt thou come unto me?” is puzzling.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 101:5

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour; such as by secret and false informations and accusations of others seek to gain my favour, and to advance themselves by the ruin of others; which are the common pests of courts and kingdoms. An high look and a proud heart: these he mentions, because pride is the common plague of courts, and the fountain of many enormities in courtiers; it makes them imperious and insolent towards the poor oppressed subjects that resort to them for relief; it inclines them... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 101:1-8

INTRODUCTIONAccording to the superscription, this Psalm was composed by David. Three different times in his life have been suggested as the occasion to which the Psalm refers. First, when, upon the death of Saul, David began to reign in Hebron over Judah; second, when he began to reign “in Jerusalem over all Israel and Judah;” and third, when he brought up the ark of the Lord from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David. It is impossible to determine which, or whether either of these... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 101:1-8

This time shall we turn in our Bibles to Psalms 101:1-8 . Psalms 101:1-8 is a psalm of David, and David declares in the first verse,I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing ( Psalms 101:1 ).Now though David says he is going to sing of mercy and of judgment, in his song I find nothing of mercy, only of judgment. And David was very strong in his desires of God concerning his enemies and concerning the wicked. And David, of course, was interested in mercy concerning... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 101:1-8

Title. A psalm of David. All the Versions agree with the Hebrew in this title. Psalms 101:3 . I hate the work of them that turn aside; a Hebrew phrase for apostasy to idolatry. Instead of going up to Zion, they turned aside to some heathen feast. Psalms 101:4 . A froward heart; a heart proud, swelling, and insatiable. Psalms 101:7 . He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house. A good purpose, though David could never carry it into full effect. Psalms 101:8 . I will... read more
