American Standard Version
"Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood; "
— Psalms 26:9, American Standard Version
“Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:”
“Don't gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;”
“Do not sweep me away with sinners, or execute me along with violent people,”
“Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.”
“Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;”
“Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:”
I will wash my hands in innocency: So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;
That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, And tell of all thy wondrous works.
Jehovah, I love the habitation of thy house, And the place where thy glory dwelleth.
Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood;
In whose hands is wickedness, And their right hand is full of bribes.
But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
My foot standeth in an even place: In the congregations will I bless Jehovah.
