Context of Psalms 26:11
9Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed, 10In whose hands is a wicked scheme, And whose right hand is full of bribes. But 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.
