Psalm 101, a psalm of David, is one of the pledges made of a king to his King and may have been written as David sought to bring the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem. It is a fitting psalm for all in power who can make decisions for how their kingdoms (homes, businesses etc.) will be run in the Lord! Psalm 102 is one of the 7 penance psalms, but this one is not a personal confession as much as a confession of national sin. Psalms 103 and 104 are called envelope psalms for they have the same words at the beginning and the end. Psalm 105 is a historical psalm reminding the Hebrew people of their past and God’s dealings with them.
