<<  PSALM CI. >>

A Psalm of David.

            1. I will sing of lovingkindness and justice:
            Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.
            2. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way:
            Oh when wilt thou come unto me ?
            I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
            3. I will set no base thing before mine eyes:
            I hate the work of them that turn aside;
            It shall not cleave unto me.
            4. A perverse heart shall depart from me:
            I will know no evil thing.
            5. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I
            destroy:
            Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not
            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 minister unto
            me.
            7. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
            He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established
            before mine eyes.
            8. Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of
            the land;
            To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of
            Jehovah.

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

6-8. By sincerity are meant also integrity, justice, faithfulness, and uprightness. A man cannot be in these from himself so as to love them from themselves and for their own sake. But he is in them who shuns the various forms of fraud, cunning, and deceit as sins, and he is thus in them not from himself but from the Lord. This the Lord teaches in many passages. Life 84.

            7. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
            He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established
            before mine eyes.

            Jehovah.

8. In a general sense it is called morning as well when the dawn appears as when the sun rises, and then morning is taken for the judgment both concerning the good and upon the evil. Here upon the evil. A. 2405.
The evil will perish when the Lord comes. P. P.
