John Trapp on Psalms 101:2

Verſ. 2. I will behave my ſelf wiſely] I will begin the intended reformation at my ſelf, and then ſet things to rights in my family, which while Auguſtus did not, he was worthily blamed by his ſubjects, and told, that publick perſona muſt carefully obſerve, Aedibus in pr[illegible: 1 letter]priis quae recta [illegible: 1 word] prava gerantur.Plu[illegible: 2 letters]

But Cate the wiſe, wanted the wiſdome from above, and was therefore ſhort of David, who promiſeth here ſo be merry, I will ſing, and yet wiſe, I will behave my ſelf wiſely in a perfect way; that is, in an upright converſation, and in a faithful diſcharge of the great truſt committed unto me.

O[illegible: 1 letter] when wilt then come unto me?] In the performance of thy promiſe concerning the Kingdom? For I am reſolved not to [illegible: 3 letters]evert thee, but to wait thy coming; Eſt ſuſpirium [illegible: 1 span] ex abrupto, like that of Ju[illegible: 3 letters], I have waited, O Lord; for thy ſalvation Gen. 49, 18.

I will walk unceſſantly, walk in the midſt of mine houſe, [illegible: 1 span] 2 King. 4.35. and this I will do in the [illegible: 1 word] of mine heart▪ for that a man is in truth, that hee is at home.
