Beware of Bad Company 

Psalm 26:5
I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

David, in this psalm, appeals to Yahuwah touching his integrity.   David here, by the Spirit of prophecy, speaks of himself as a type of Yeshua Ha Mashiach, of whom what he here says of his spotless innocence was fully and eminently true, and of Yeshua Ha Mashiach only, and to Him we may apply it.  We are complete in him.  

The man that walks in his integrity, yet trusting wholly in the grace of Yahuwah, is in a state of acceptance, according to the covenant of which Yahushua was the Mediator, in virtue of his spotless obedience even unto death.  This man desires to have his inmost soul searched and proved by Yahuwah.  

He is aware of the deceitfulness of his own heart, he desires to detect and mortify every sin and he longs to be satisfied of his being a true believer, and to practise the holy commands of Yahuwah.   Great care to avoid bad company, is both a good evidence of our integrity, and a good means to keep us in it. 

Hypocrites and dissemblers may be found attending on Yahuwah's ordinances, but it is a good sign of sincerity, if we attend upon them, as the psalmist here tells us he did, in the exercise of repentance and conscientious obedience.  

He feels his ground firm under him and, as he delights in blessing Yahuwah with his congregations on earth, he trusts that shortly he shall join the great assembly in heaven, in singing praises to Yahuwah and to the Lamb for evermore.
