Psalms 101:1. I will sing -
That is right, David. In the one hundredth Psalm, he had exhorted other people to sing, now, in the hundred and first, he declares what he will himself do: "I will sing" -
Psalms 101:1. Of mercy and judgment:
It is a mingled theme; there are the treble and the bass notes: "mercy and judgment." There are some dear friends who, if they sing at all will have to sing this way, for they have a heavy sorrow on their heart, and yet great mercy is mixed with it. Oh, you who are troubled, and bow your head in grief, say, "I will sing of mercy and judgment." Mix the two together.
Psalms 101:1. Unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
A second time the psalmist says, "I will sing." It is well to make this firm resolve: "Unto thee, O Lord, will I sing." Winter or summer, "I will sing;" poverty or riches, "I will sing;" sickness or health, "I will sing;" life or death, "I will sing." "I will love thee in life, I will love thee in death And praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath." "I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing."
