Commentary on Psalms 26:1

Theological / Devotional

Judge me. The psalmist asks God to examine and vindicate his case.

Integrity. Avowal of innocence under false accusation does not exclude a due sense of sin. The psalmist recognizes his need of divine redemption and mercy (v. 11).

Shall not slide. If I have the integrity that I maintain, I cannot slip, I shall not be moved (see on Ps. 15:5 ; 16:8).
