Ps 101 This hymn expresses a commitment to live with integrity and to avoid evil. Jesus meets this ideal.
101:2 in my own home (literally in my house): This commitment to integrity might refer to private life at home. Some interpreters view my house as referring to the king’s palace; the commitment would then refer to the policies of his administration. • Leading a life of integrity means choosing a wise lifestyle.
101:4-5 The psalmist hates what the Lord hates (Prov 6:16-19; see Pss 5:5; 11:4-5). • Perverse ideas come from corrupt human hearts (cp. 18:26).
101:6 The psalmist surrounds himself with people who are also committed to integrity (101:2).
