Gill's Notes on the Bible
I will early destroy all the wicked of the land, e.] Of the land of Israel, signifying that he would make a general reformation throughout the kingdom that as soon as wicked men were discovered in any part of the land, he would cut them off, would take the first opportunity of punishing them as the law directs: or he would do it "in morning" s, as in the Hebrew text; that is, every morning, constantly and continually;

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I will early destroy ... - Hebrew, âIn the mornings I will destroy.â That is, It shall be my first business as I enter upon the day. Possibly, also, by the use of the plural here - âin the morningsâ - there may be the idea that this would be his constant rule of conduct: he would do it every day; he would do it morning by morning. He would on no day - at no time - allow the wicked to be in his service. This rule would be unvarying. It would extend through his life. The word âdestroyâ here may refer not only to his conduct as a man, and as the head of a family, but to the act of a magistrate; and the idea may be, that the rule which he prescribed for himself in his own house was a rule which he would carry with him into public: that is, as the psalm was composed by David, that, as a king and sovereign, it should be his aim to carry those principles to the throne; that, in respect to the state, he would do what he purposed to do in his home-relations. The strict and stern regard for truth, sincerity, honesty, fidelity, which he would evince in the one case he would evince in the other; carrying to the high employments of public life, where there were so many temptations to a contrary course, the inflexible virtues which were needful for peace, for happiness, and for success in domestic life.
That I may cut off - By discountenancing them; by punishing them if they are guilty.
All wicked doers - All violators of law.
From the city of the Lord - From Jerusalem, the place where God dwelt, and which was sacred to his service. See Psalms 46:4, note; Psalms 48:2, note; Psalms 48:8, note. Happy is the man at the head of a family - happy is the magistrate - who adopts for himself, and who faithfully carries out the principles laid down by the author of this psalm - divinely inspired to adopt such rules for himself, and to suggest them for others in all ages.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 101:8. I will early destroy — I will take the first opportunity of destroying all the wicked of the land. I will purify my court, purge Jerusalem, and cleanse the whole land of every abomination and abominable person; so that the city of my God, where holiness alone should dwell, shall indeed become the Holy City; that the state may be made prosperous, and the people happy. Such an administration must have been a good one, where such pious caution was used in choosing all the officers of the state.
ANALYSIS OF THE HUNDRED AND FIRST PSALM
There are two parts of this Psalm: -
I. The sum, with the dedication of it, Psalms 101:1.
II. The full explanation of mercy and judgment, and how practiced: -
1. Towards himself, Psalms 101:2-5.
2. Towards ungodly men, Psalms 101:4-5; Psalms 101:7-8.
3. Towards all good men, Psalms 101:6.
I. The sum of the Psalm, mercy and judgment, the two great virtues of a king.
1. Mercy in countenancing, giving audience, judging, and rewarding the good.
2. Judgment in discountenancing, being a terror to and punishing the evil doers.
II. He begins with his own reformation and that of his house, that he may set a godly example to his kingdom.
1. "I will behave myself wisely:" most act foolishly; I shall be guided by Divine wisdom.
2. "I am in a perfect way:" I have professed to believe in the God of Israel, and I must walk suitably to this profession.
3. "When wilt thou come unto me?" I am sincere in my resolves; but without thee I can do nothing. Stand by me, and I will walk uprightly.
In his house he resolves, "I will walk within my house with a perfect heart."
1. "I will walk:" it shall be my constant employment.
2. "I will walk in my house:" I will see that my family fear God.
3. "I will walk with a perfect heart:" I shall do nothing for show; all shall be sincere and pious.
In order to walk in this perfect way, he promises, -
1. "I will set no wicked thing before my eyes:" evil desires enter more frequently into the soul by the eye than by any of the other senses.
2. "I hate the work of them that turn aside:" he that would leave sin must hate and abhor it: he that leaves God is an object of abhorrence.
3. "It shall not cleave to me:" it will cleave to him who cleaves to it. He who does not hate it, will cleave to it.
He shows what he will be towards the ungodly.
1. "A froward heart shall depart from me:" the headstrong, stubborn, and refractory.
2. "I will not know the wicked:" I shall not only not approve of such, but I will cultivate no acquaintance with them.
These wicked persons he particularizes. They are,
1. Slanderers: "Him that slandereth his neighbour I will cut off."
2. The ambitious: "Him that hath a high look," who wants influence and honour.
3. The proud: the haughty, who thinks all born to be his vassals.
How he will treat the godly.
1. "His eye shall be upon the faithful." Of them he will take especial care; he shall dwell with me.
2. The truly religious, "he that walks in a perfect way," shall be employed by himself. "He shall serve me."
He farther states what he will do in reference to the ungodly.
1. No fraudulent person shall dwell in his house: "He that worketh deceit," c.
2. Liars shall be banished out of his sight.
In this work he tells us how he would proceed.
1. "I will early destroy." I will make despatch, that the land be not polluted.
2. The end, in reference to the Church: "I will cut off the wicked from the city of the Lord." The city, the seat of government, the place of God's altars, must be kept pure. There must be a thorough, a radical reform. No corruption or abuse, either in things political, domestic, or religious, shall be tolerated. All must be holy, as he who has called us is holy. This was a reformation according to God's word not according to the caprice of the multitude.
