Psalms26:1

PSAL. XXVI.

VErſ. 1. Judge me, O Lord] i.e. Judge betwixt me and mine enemies; not betwixt me and thee, as R. David expoundeth it; for then I am ſure to bee found faulty.

For I have walked in mine integrity] viz. Toward Saul, whatever his pickthank Courtiers ſuggeſt againſt me; as Pſal. 7. which is much like this, and made as it may ſeem about the ſame time as this, viz. about the beginning of Sauls perſecution raiſed againſt David, 1 Sam. 22.7. &c. who thereupon appealeth here to Gods juſt Judgment, and ſtands upon his Juſtification, as holding faſt faith and a good conſcience,

Therefore I ſhall not ſlide] Or, not farre; I ſhall not be greatly moved, Pſal. 62.2. Moved I may be, but not removed; ſhaken, but not ſhivered; thruſt at, but not thrown down, &c. becauſe bottomed and built upon the rock of Ages, Iſa. 26.4, 2 Cor. 4.8.
