Psalms 26:12

My foot standeth. The psalmist claims the answer to his prayer: with the eye of faith he sees himself already standing literally “in a level place” (see Ps. 40:2; cf. Isa. 40:4). After traversing paths rough and dangerous, uphill and down, over stones and boulders, through brambles and brush, he breathes a great sigh of relief to find footing “in an even place.” This is the precious privilege of every child of God.

Will I bless. Thus fulfilling the resolution of v. 7 (see Ps. 22:22).

The psalm should lead us to examine the evidences of our loyalty to God, and when we have found a level place of Christian experience, to thank God for the evidences of our salvation. We need to cultivate the habit of thinking good thoughts, of avoiding evil company, of delighting in attendance at public worship; then we shall be able to bless Jehovah in the congregation of the righteous.
