If holy awe and silent wonder are the first proper response to the decisions and interventions of ‘the Judge of the earth’ … (Psalm 99)
… and ‘holy riot’ is the second … (Psalm 100)
… then the third response to the intervention of The Lord who comes as Saviour, King, and Judge is a life of determined obedience to the Lord (Psalm 101)
This psalm is the most brilliant statement of intent in all scripture.
If our worship should start with the exhortation of Psalm 95, then it should end with the whole congregation of disciples standing and speaking out loud, line by line, the statements of Psalm 101.
Just think of the effect on the world if Psalm 101 was read aloud by every disciple at the end of every worship time!

About this Plan
The 150 Psalms are arranged in five collections, or ‘books.’ The fourth book of Psalms contains 17 Psalms, Psalms 90-106, arranged in a sequence called a ‘Chiasm,’ a literary structure that Jewish authors occasionally used to present their material. The message of these psalms is presented not only through each individual psalm but also through engaging with the development of ideas and truths through the sequence of the psalms and their ‘partner-opposites’.
