Introduction
The psalmist appeals to God for his integrity, and desires to be brought to the Divine test in order to have his innocence proved, Psalm 26:1-3 ; shows that he had avoided all fellowship with the wicked, and associated unth the upright, Psalm 26:4-8 ; prays that he may not have his final lot with the workers of iniquity, Psalm 26:9 , Psalm 26:10 ; purposes to walk uprightly before God, Psalm 26:11 , Psalm 26:12 .
This Psalm, and the two following, are supposed by Calmet to be all parts of one ode, and to relate to the time of the captivity, containing the prayers, supplications, complaints, and resolutions of the Israelites in Babylon. This is probable; but we have not evidence enough to authorize us to be nice on such points. See on Psalm 26:1 ; (note).
