Psalms 26 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Trusted — I have committed my cause and affairs to thee.

For — I dare appeal to thee, because thou knowest I have a deep sense of thy loving — kindness, by which I have been led to love and obey thee.

Sat — Continued with them. I have been so far from an imitation of their wicked courses, that I have avoided their company. Vain — With false and deceitful persons. Go in — Into their company.

Compass — Approach to thine altar with my sacrifices: which I could not do with any comfort, if I were conscious of those crimes, whereof mine enemies accuse me.

House — Thy sanctuary and worship. Honour — Thy glorious and gracious presence.

Gather not — Do not bind me up in the same bundle, or put me into the same accursed condition with them.

Standeth — I stand upon a sure and solid foundation, being under the protection of God's promise, and his almighty and watchful providence. Congregations — I will not only privately, but in the assemblies of thy people celebrate thy praise.
