Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

Verse 9 is found in chapter 26 of Psalms. Psalm 26 presents the petitioner before God as someone who wishes to be examined and distinguished from circles of deceit and violence. Separation from the wicked is not arbitrary isolation, but a way of preserving integrity in worship. The affirmation of loving God’s dwelling connects ethics and worship, and the conclusion expresses confidence in remaining within a blessed community.

Raffe meine Seele nicht hin mit den Sündern noch mein Leben mit den Blutdürstigen,
No juntes con los pecadores mi alma, Ni con los hombres de sangres mi vida:
No recojas mi alma con los pecadores ni mi vida con los hombres sanguinarios,
N'enlève pas mon âme avec les pécheurs, Ma vie avec les hommes de sang,
Non metter l’anima mia in un fascio co’ peccatori, Nè la mia vita con gli uomini di sangue;
Não apanhes a minha alma com os pecadores, nem a minha vida com os homens sanguinolentos,
不要把我的性命和罪人一同除掉, 不要把我的生命和好流人血的一同除掉。
