Commentary: The author of Psalm 99 and 100 is unknown. Both are psalms praising the Lord! Psalm 101 was written by David and is also a psalm of praise. The psalm is about a man leading a blameless life. It certainly wasn't about David! Rather it looked forward to a day when a King, who is blameless will rule!

Focus Verses: 101:2-5 Who is David talking about in these verses? Do you look forward to this day?
