Context of Psalms 26:10
8Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth. 9Gather 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. 11But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me. 12My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
