The call to praise is repeated in ver. 4 with more distinct reference to the open Temple gates into which all the nations may now enter. The psalmist sees, in prophetic hope, crowds pouring in with glad alacrity through the portals, and then hears the joyful tumult of their many voices rising in a melodious surge of praise. His eager desire and large-hearted confidence that so it will one day be are vividly expressed by the fourfold call in ver. 4. And the reason which should draw all men to bless God's revealed character is that His self-revelation, whether to Israel or to others, shows that the basis of that character is goodness--_i.e._, kindness or love--and that, as older singers have sung, "His loving-kindness endures for ever," and, as a thousand generations in Israel and throughout the earth have proved, His faithful adherence to His word, and discharge of all obligations under which He has come to His creatures, give a basis for trust and a perpetual theme for joyful thanksgiving. Therefore, all the world has an interest in Jehovah's royalty, and should, and one day shall, compass His throne with joyful homage, and obey His behests with willing service. PSALM CI. 1 Of loving-kindness and judgment will I sing, To Thee, Jehovah, will I harp. 2 I will give heed to the way of perfectness, When wilt Thou come to me? I will walk with a perfect heart Within my house. 3 I will not set before my eyes any villainous thing, The doing of transgressions do I hate, It shall not cleave to me. 4 A perverse heart shall depart from me, Evil will I not know. 5 The secret slanderer of his neighbour, Him will I root out, The lofty-eyed and proud-hearted, Him will I not endure. 6 My eyes are on the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me, He who walks in the way of perfectness, He shall serve me. 7 He shall not dwell in my house Who practises deceit, He that speaks lies Shall not be established before my eyes. 8 Every morning will I root out All the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All workers of iniquity.
