Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 26:4

Theological / Devotional

Have not sat. See on Ps. 1:1.

Vain persons. Literally, “men of vanity,” men who pursue worthless aims instead of true ideals (see Job 11:11; see on Ps. 24:4).

Will I go in. See on Ps. 1:1. The change of tense to future suggests that he will continue to keep himself pure. The same significant change of tense appears also in v. 5.
