Psalms 101:5,6 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

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; him will I cut off From my family and court. Him that hath a high look, &c. Those who think highly of themselves, and look down with contempt upon others, or treat them with insolence; or, whose insatiable covetousness and ambition make them study their own advancement more than the public good; will not I suffer In my house nor among my servants. Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful I will endeavour to find out, and will favour and encourage, men of truth, justice, and integrity, men of religion and virtue, who will be faithful, first to God, and then to me and to my people; that they may dwell with me Hebrew, לשׁבת, lashebeth,, to sit, abide, or converse with me, in my house, and counsels, and public administrations. These he would use as his familiars and friends, employ them in the domestic services of his palace, and advance them to public offices and stations in his kingdom. He that walketh in a perfect way In the way of God's precepts, which are pure and perfect; he shall serve me In domestic and public employments.
