Psalm 26:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 I love the house where you dwell, O Lord,
the place where your glory resides.[a]
9 Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,
nor my life with those who thirst for blood,[b]
10 whose hands carry out evil schemes,
and whose right hands are full of bribes.
Footnotes
- Psalm 26:8 Where your glory resides: the presence of God’s glory meant the presence of God himself (see Ex 24:16; 33:22). His glory dwelt in the tabernacle (see Ex 40:35) and later in the temple (see 1 Ki 8:11). John 1:14 places that same presence in the Word made flesh who “dwelt among us.”
- Psalm 26:9 A premature death was a divine chastisement (see Pss 5:7; 28:4; 55:24).
