The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 26:1-12

Integrity. All through the Scriptures "integrity" is commended. It is a characteristic of the saints. Whatever else they are, they must be men of integrity. This does not mean that they are morally perfect, or that they have any ground for trusting in their own righteousness; but it means that they have an "honest and good heart." Whatever may have been their past life, or however much of imperfection may still cleave to them, they are conscious of a pure intent, a firm and steadfast... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 26:1-12

The oppressed righteous man. It is impossible to say on what occasion the psalm was composed, or from what kind of trouble it prays to be delivered. The theme is—Only he who can say with truth, " I have walked in integrity, and I have trusted in the Lord," may depend upon Divine aid in trouble; but we may do so with full confidence. In the first verse the whole psalm is summed up. I. A PRAYER FOR HELP IN TROUBLE . "Judge me," equivalent to " vindicate my rights and rescue... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 26:2

Examine me, O Lord, and prove me . He desires to be examined and proved—tested, as a metal is tested (comp. Psalms 17:3 )—that his sincerity may fully appear. Try my reins and my heart ; i.e. my emotional and my intellectual natures. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 26:2

Faith's bold request. "Examine me," etc. A very bold prayer. The image is taken from the testing and purifying of gold in the furnace, to which the word rendered "try" properly applies. It is as if the gold begged to be cast into the furnace ( Job 23:10 ). Who can say, if this prayer is to be answered, how hot the furnace may need to be? But "we have boldness" ( Ephesians 3:12 ). There are cases in which this bold prayer may be justifiable, wise, needful. It includes— I. A ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 26:1

Judge me, O Lord - That is, determine in regard to my case whether I am truly thy friend, or whether the evidences of my piety are genuine. The psalmist asks an examination of his own case; he brings the matter before God for Him to decide; he submits the facts in regard to himself to God, so that He may pronounce upon them whether they constitute evidence of real piety.For I have walked in mine integrity - On the word “walk,” see the notes at Psalms 1:1. The word “integrity” here is the same... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 26:2

Examine me, O Lord - The meaning of this verse is, that he asked of God a strict and rigid examination of his case. To express this, the psalmist uses three words - “examine; prove; try.” These words are designed to include the modes in which the reality of anything is tested, and they imply together that he wished the most “thorough” investigation to be made; he did not shrink from any test. He evidently felt that it was essential to his welfare that the most rigid examination should be made;... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 26:1

Psalms 26:1. Judge me, O Lord Plead my cause, or, give sentence for me. I can obtain no right from men. The supreme and subordinate magistrates are my implacable and resolved enemies: do thou, therefore, do me justice against them. For I have walked in my integrity Though they accuse me of many crimes, they can prove none of them, and thou and mine own conscience, and theirs also, are witnesses for me, that my conduct toward them hath been innocent and unblameable. I have trusted also in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 26:2-3

Psalms 26:2-3. Examine me, and prove me Because it is possible I may deceive myself, and be partial in my cause, or, at least, mine enemies will so judge of me: I appeal to thee, O thou Judge of hearts, and beg that thou wouldst search and try me by such ways and means as thou seest fit, and make me known to myself and to the world, and convince mine enemies of mine integrity. For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes I have a true and deep sense of thy loving-kindness upon my heart, by... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 26:1-12

Psalms 26-28 Living uprightlyDavid appeals to God to support him against those who plot evil against him. God has done a work of grace in his life, and this causes him to hate the company of worthless people and make every effort to live the sort of life that pleases God (26:1-5). He desires righteousness, delights in worship, loves to spend hours in the house of God and enjoys telling others about God (6-8). He therefore asks that he will not suffer the same end as the wicked (9-10). Though... read more
