Context of Psalms 26:10
8Lord, I love the dwelling of Your house, And the place where Your glory remains. 9Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed, In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes. 11But as for me, I will walk in my integrity; Redeem me, and be gracious to me. 12My foot stands on level ground; In the congregations I will bless the Lord.
