Psalms one hundred and one begins with the heading, “[[A Psalm of David.]]” which breaks down, “A Psalm” or “a poem or melody set to notes” “of David” which means “belonging to David whose name means beloved and was the second king of Israel”, and in chapter one hundred one and verse one of Psalms David said, “I will sing of mercy and judgment” where we read,
I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto you, O LORD, will I sing.
The verse begins, “I will sing of mercy and judgment:” The Psalmist began with the words, “I will sing” or “I, David, shall make music and ringing sounds with my voice” “of mercy” which means “pertaining to goodness, kindness and faithfulness” “and judgment” or “and justice, right, ordinance, process, procedure and litigation”. David said he would use his voice to make music about goodness, kindness, faithfulness, justice and procedure.
The verse continues, “unto you, O LORD, will I sing.” The Psalmist added the words, “unto you” or “toward you, Jehovah God”, “O LORD” which means “O Jehovah who is the existing One and the proper name for the One True God”, “will I sing” or “shall I, David, make music and ringing sounds with my voice”. David said he would direct the music of his voice to Jehovah God.
When we consider the words in this verse, we see how David, the sweet Psalmist and King of Israel, said he would make music with his voice toward Jehovah God concerning goodness, kindness, faithfulness, process and procedure. David even repeated the idea of making music with his voice. God loves for us to worship Him and sing about His character. God is good. God is kind, and God is faithful. He is just, right and shall bring about litigation on behalf of those who believe and trust in Him. God sent His Son Jesus into the world to die on the cross for the sins of all mankind, and when we put our faith and trust in Him as our “Savior and Lord”, He will forgive our sins, grant us everlasting life and encourage us to worship Him in songs concerning His wonderful character and ways.
Next time David says, “I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until tomorrow…there is more…
