### Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh's city.
*Type*: prophecy
*Summary*: The prediction of an ideal ruler who will execute daily, perfect judgment to purge the holy city of all evil.
*Historical context*: Theologians such as Matthew Henry and Charles Spurgeon interpret this as an eschatological prophecy of the Messianic judgment. It is seen as fulfilled in the vision of the New Jerusalem in [[Rev-21#v27|Revelation 21:27]] and 22:15, where it is stated that nothing unclean or anyone who practices falsehood will ever enter the city, effectively 'cutting off' all workers of iniquity eternally.
*Related to*:
### My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.
*Type*: prophecy
*Summary*: The promise that the King will specifically seek out and gather the faithful to live in his presence and serve him.
*Historical context*: This is traditionally viewed as a Messianic prophecy regarding Christ's selection of his followers and the eternal state of the redeemed. It is linked to fulfillments in [[John-12#v26|John 12:26]], where Jesus promises that His servants will be where He is, and [[Rev-22#v3|Revelation 22:3]]-4, where the faithful are described as serving God and seeing His face in the eternal kingdom.
*Related to*:
### I will sing of loving kindness and justice... I will be careful to live a blameless life... I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
*Type*: fulfillment
*Summary*: The Davidic King's commitment to rule with integrity and adhere to the divine standards of the Law.
*Historical context*: Scholars identify this Psalm as a formal vow by King David upon his ascension to the throne, serving as the historical fulfillment of the requirements for a king set forth in [[Deut-17#v14|Deuteronomy 17:14]]-20. It reflects the realization of the 'Law of the King,' where the monarch was commanded to write and follow the statutes of Yahweh to ensure a righteous reign.
