诗篇 26:9-12 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 26:11

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity ; i.e. I will continue to walk as I have walked hitherto (see Psalms 26:1 )—I will be " integer vitae scelerisque purus "—a brave and good resolve. Had he but kept to it! Redeem me, and be merciful unto me (compare the comment on Psalms 26:1 ). Though hitherto he has walked innocently, and is resolved still to continue to walk innocently; he nevertheless feels that he has need of redeeming mercy. Though he "knows nothing by himself, yet... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 26:12

My foot standeth in an even place ; or, on level ground — where there is nothing to cause me to stumble (comp. Psalms 27:11 ). In the congregations will I bless the Lord ; i.e. in the assemblies of the people for public worship. David constantly acknowledges this duty ( Psalms 22:22 , Psalms 22:25 : Psalms 27:6 ; Psalms 35:18 ; Psalms 40:9 , Psalms 40:10 ; Psalms 68:26 , etc.). Indeed, it is the general idea that underlies all his psalms of praise, since they wore... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 26:9

Gather not my soul with sinners - Margin, “take not away.” The word rendered “gather,” means properly to “collect;” to “gather,” as fruits, Exodus 23:10; ears of grain, Ruth 2:7; money, 2 Kings 22:4. There is the idea of assembling together, or collecting; and the meaning here is, that he desired not to be united with wicked people, or to be regarded as one of their number. It does not refer particularly, as I apprehend, to death, as if he prayed that he might not be cut down with wicked... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 26:10

In whose hands is mischief - The word here rendered “mischief,” means properly “purpose, counsel, plan;” then, an evil purpose, “mischief, wickedness, crime.” The idea is, either that they intended to do mischief, and that they employed their hands to accomplish it, or that the fruit or result of their wicked plans was in their hands; that is, they had in their possession what they had secured by robbery, or plunder, or dishonesty.And their right hand is full of bribes - Margin: “filled with.”... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 26:11

But as for me - The Hebrew is, “and I.” But there is evidently a contrast between what he purposed to do, and the course of life pursued by those to whom he had just referred; and this is correctly expressed in our translation, “But as for me.” It is a statement of his profession of piety, and of his purpose to lead a religious life. He “meant” - he solemnly “purposed” - to lead a holy life.I will walk - I will live a life of integrity. See the notes at Psalms 1:1.In mine integrity - Hebrew, in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 26:12

My foot standeth in an even place - The word rendered “even place” - מישׁור mı̂yshôr - means properly “righteousness,” or “justice;” then, “evenness, a level region, a plain:” Isaiah 40:4; Isaiah 42:16. DeWette renders it, “in a right path.” The idea is, either that he was standing now on smooth and level ground; or that he was walking in a straight path, in contradistinction from the crooked and perverse ways of the wicked; that is, he had found now a level road where he might walk securely.... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 26:9-10

Psalms 26:9-10. Gather not my soul That is, my life, as it is explained in the next clause; with sinners Profligate and obstinate sinners, as the following words describe them, such being often called sinners by way of eminence. Do not bind me up in the same bundle, nor put me in the same accursed and miserable condition with them. Seeing I have loved thy house and worship, and endeavoured to serve thee acceptably, not only with ceremonial cleanness, but with moral purity of heart and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 26:12

Psalms 26:12. My foot standeth in an even place Hebrew, במישׁור , bemishor, in rectitude. I stand upon a sure and solid foundation, being under the protection of God’s promise and his almighty and watchful providence. Or the sense may be, I do and will persist in my plain, righteous, and straight course of life, not using those frauds and wicked arts, and perverse and crooked paths, which mine enemies choose and walk in. And, thus understood, it is the same thing with his walking in his... read more

Donald C. Fleming

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
