Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

Psalms 26:9 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Gather. The psalmist does not wish to be numbered with sinners and swept away with them to ultimate destruction.

My soul. That is, “me” (see on Ps. 3:2 ; 16:10).

Bloody men. Literally, “men of blood,” that is, murderers.
