Psalms 101:6-8 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Reader, pause over these verses. Behold in one, what endearing doctrine it contains! Behold in the other, the solemn denunciations. Like the pillar of a cloud, in the wilderness, the aspect of glory and light to the one, becomes darkness and terror to the other. Jesus! Let thine eyes be upon him that now writes, and him that hereafter may read these lines; and let the sweet influences of thy Holy Spirit induce faithfulness, and every needed grace, in our hearts. Oh! to dwell with thee, thou condescending Lord of thy people, and thou to dwell with us, and be in us, the hope of glory: what unspeakable felicity is this! Come, Lord, and make our hearts thy home; and dwell in us, and reign and rule in us, forever. Amen.

Psalms 101:6-8

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 serve me.

7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarryb in my sight.

8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
