Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 101:1

1 I Will sing of mercy and judgment : unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

Either 1. of God towards me; of Gods mercy towards me, and of his just judgments upon mine Enemies. Or 2. of mine towards my people, I will in my Song declare my obligation and full purpose to execute mercy and judgment in my Dominion; which are the two Pillars of Government: of which he speaks in the following Verses. Interpreters are much divided which to chuse. Possibly both may be joined together, and the sence may be this, I will praise thee, O Lord, as for all thy other excellencies, so particularly for those two Royal perfections of mercy and justice or judgment, which thou hast so eminently discovered in the Government of the World, and of thy people Israel; and I will make it my care and business to imitate and follow thee as in other things so especially in those vertues which are so necessary for the discharge of my trust and the good government of thy and my people.
