Psalms 26:12 - Exposition

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 composed to be recited in the congregation.
