Psalms 26:12

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

My foot standeth in an even place,.... Or "in a plain" ; in a sure place; on Christ the sure foundation, and who is the plain way and path to eternal life; see Ps 27:11; or in the ways and worship of God, prescribed by his word; and so denotes steadfastness and continuance in them;in the congregations will I bless the Lord; in the assemblies of the saints, in the churches of Christ below, and in the great congregation above, in the general assembly and church of the firstborn; where it is the work of saints now, and will be hereafter, to praise the Lord, for all his mercies temporal and spiritual.
