Context of Psalms 26:11
9Do not take away my life, as you do with sinners. Do not punish me with death, as you do with murderers. 10Those wicked people are always ready to do evil things. They use bribes to get what they want. But I always try to do what is right. Please save me and be kind to me! 12Now I stand in a safe place. I will praise the Lord when his people meet together to worship him.
