What does Psalms 101:2 mean?
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
Psa 101:1-8. In this Psalm the profession of the principles of his domestic and political government testifies, as well as actions in accordance with it, David's appreciation of God's mercy to him, and His judgment on his enemies: and thus he sings or celebrates God's dealings.
2. He avows his sincere purpose, by God's aid, to act uprightly (Ge 17:1; Psa 18:30).Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset & David Brown, 1871 · public domain
