Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 26:9

"Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood;" — Psalms 26:9 (ASV)

Gather not. —Better as in the margin. The psalmist prays that he may be spared to worship in the sanctuary when doom falls on evildoers and carries them off. The Septuagint and Vulgate have destroy not.
