Psalms 101:8

"Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city."

Key Reflection

This verse emphasizes God's unwavering commitment to justice and righteousness, vowing to cleanse His city by removing wickedness each day. It underscores a continuous process of purification where evil is systematically eradicated, ensuring that only those who walk in integrity remain within the Lord’s presence.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I will early destroy ... -Hebrew, “In the mornings I will destroy.” That is, It shall be my first business as I enter upon the day. Possibly, also, by the use of the plural here - “in the mornings” - there may be the idea that this would be his constant rule of conduct: he would do it every day; he would do it morning by morning. He would on no day - at no time - allow the wicked to be in his service. This rule would be unvarying. It would extend through his life.
