Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 26:9

"Gather not my soul with sinners,Nor my life with men of blood;In whose hands is wickedness,And their right hand is full of bribes.But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity:Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.My foot standeth in an even place:In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.""Their right hand is full of bribes" (Psalms 26:10).

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 26:8

Psalms 26:8. The habitation of thy house— This certainly means the tabernacle, wherein the ark of God was kept, and where he manifested his peculiar presence by a visible and glorious appearance. Dr. Hammond says, that the habitation of thy house may, by apposition, be, thy habitation-house; as we say in English a mansion-house, i.e. a place for daily habitation; such as the tabernacle was to God; he having promised to be continually present there.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 26:6-8

He preferred the sanctuary of the Lord to the meeting places of the wicked (cf. Psalms 26:5). Washing the hands in innocence is a figurative way of saying that his actions were righteous (cf.

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 26:9-10

David asked God to spare him from a premature death in the company of the wicked. Evidently he expected God to judge the wicked this way, and wanted God to separate him from them in His judgment (cf. Genesis 18:23), as David had separated himself from them in his behavior. It appears that some people were grouping David together with others who were wicked in their thinking, but he did not want God to do that. read more
