Context of Psalms 26:8
6I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah, 7That I may cause the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and declare all thy marvellous works. Jehovah, I have loved 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; 10In whose hands are evil devices, and their right hand is full of bribes.
