Psalms 101 - Introduction

A.M. 2959. B.C. 1045.

This Psalm, composed, as Dr. Chandler thinks, after David was well established on his throne, and settled in his new-built palace, declares his pious resolution to govern first himself, and then his court and his kingdom, with so much care, that the good might expect all favour from him, but no wicked man, of any sort, have the least countenance or encouragement. We have the general scope of his vow to this effect, Psalms 101:1; Psalms 101:2. The particulars of it, Psalms 101:3.
