12 My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah. Psalm 27 `A Psalm' of David.
12 My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless Jehovah!
12 My foot standeth in an even place; in the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
12 My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.
12 I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.
Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

Commentary on Psalms 26 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 26
Holy David is in this psalm putting himself upon a solemn trial, not by God and his country, but by God and his own conscience, to both which he appeals touching his integrity (v. 1, 2), for the proof of which he alleges,
In singing this psalm we must teach and admonish ourselves, and one another, what we must be and do that we may have the favour of God, and comfort in our own consciences, and comfort ourselves with it, as David does, if we can say that in any measure we have, through grace, answered to these characters. The learned Amyraldus, in his argument of his psalm, suggests that David is here, by the spirit of prophecy, carried out to speak of himself as a type of Christ, of whom what he here says of his spotless innocence, was fully and eminently true, and of him only, and to him we may apply it in singing this psalm. "We are complete in him.'
A psalm of David.
Psa 26:1-5
It is probable that David penned this psalm when he was persecuted by Saul and his party, who, to give some colour to their unjust rage, represented him as a very bad man, and falsely accused him of many high crimes and misdemeanors, dressed him up in the skins of wild beasts that they might bait him. Innocency itself is no fence to the name, though it is to the bosom, against the darts of calumny. Herein he was a type of Christ, who was made a reproach of men, and foretold to his followers that they also must have all manner of evil said against them falsely. Now see what David does in this case.
