Context of Psalms 26:10
8Adonai, I love the House where You live, the place where Your glory dwells. 9Do not take my soul away with sinners, nor my life with people of bloodshed— in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hand is full of bribes. 11But I—I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be gracious to me. 12My feet stand on level ground. In congregations I will bless Adonai.
