Psalms 26:4 - Exposition

I have not sat with vain persons. Thirdly, he has not sat with vain persons; literally, with men of vanity ; i.e. he has not consorted ( Psalms 1:1 ) with light and frivolous persons—those whose hearts are set upon vain and worthless things (see Psalms 24:4 , and the comment). Neither will I go in with dissemblers. Nor will he go in with dissemblers, i.e. hypocrites. He has neither thrown in his lot with the light, vain persons who make no pretence to religion, nor with the pretenders, who "have the form of godliness, but deny the power thereof" ( 2 Timothy 3:5 ).
