Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
All Commentaries on Psalms 26:9 Go To Psalms 26
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Take; literally, "destroy "(Haydock) or suffer me not to be contaminated or lost. (Worthington)
Hebrew, "gather. "Protestants, or "take not away. "(Marginal note; and St. Jerome) (Haydock)
Hebrew may be more expressive, and agrees with the parable, where God orders the cockle to be gathered into bundles, to be burnt. (Berthier)
Treat me not like the wicked and murderers, who are cut off before their time. (Calmet)
David alludes to a future state, as he knew that the wicked were not always punished here. (Berthier)
O God is not in Hebrew, Septuagint, or St. Augustine. (Calmet)
But it is understood. (Haydock)
