Psalms 26:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. I have hated the congregation of evil doers - I have never made one in the crowds of discontented persons; persons who, under pretense of rectifying what was wrong in the state, strove to subvert it, to breed general confusion, to overturn the laws, seize on private property, and enrich themselves by the spoils of the country.
