PSALM 26
This Psalm is the special portion of Christ in the Remnant.
In this and the two next Psalms, Messiah, and His Spirit in the residue, does not merely, as up to Psalm 16, judge the character of the wicked, contemplating it in spirit, and God’s judgments, but, mixed up with the wicked in His life outwardly, He insists on His separation from them and their judgment. We have here the perfectness of Christ, in the midst of haughty Israel, by virtue of which He will accept this intercession.
Note. — In Psalm 25 and 26 we have the spirit of the converted man in Israel in that day; in Psalm 27 and 28 we have his appeal to Jehovah, as taught to seek His face, and separation from the ungodly.
