Meditation Upon the PSALMS Series: Psalm 101

"Psalm 101:

This psalm describes the perfect king.
This Davidic psalm expresses the righteous commitments of the
mediatorial king (David), to his eternal king (the LORD), in regard
to:

(1) His own personal life and;
(2) The lives of those who inhabit the kingdom.

Possible, this psalm was used later at the coronations of future kings over Israel.
Ultimately, only King Jesus would perfectly fulfill these holy resolutions.

I. Personal Life of the King (101:1-4).
II. Personal Outcome of Kingdom Inhabitants (101:5-8).
A. The Just (101:6);
B. The Unjust (101:5, 7-8).

Psalm 101:1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing.

Psalm 101:2 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.
David is asking God to come and fellowship with him in his home.
We should not be two people.
We should be the same in public and at home.

Psalm 101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off: him that hath a high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
Neither character assassination nor pride will be tolerated in the kingdom. David is trying to pattern his life according to the life of his LORD."
