Declare Me Innocent
King David’s poetic praise to God
David’s Trust and Transparency
1Yahweh, be my judge and declare me innocent!
Clear my name, for I walk in integrity
and trust you without wavering.
2Yahweh, you can scrutinize me.
Refine my heart and probe my every thought.
Put me to the test and you’ll find me true.
3I will never lose sight of your steadfast love for me.
Your faithfulness has steadied my steps.
David’s Truthfulness
4I won’t keep company with tricky, two-faced men,
nor will I go the way of those with hidden motives.
5I despise the sinner’s hangouts.
You won’t find me walking with the wicked.
6-7When I come to your altar, Yahweh,
I’ll be clean before you, # 26:6–7 Or “I wash my hands in innocence.”
approaching with songs of thanksgiving,
singing songs of your mighty miracles.
David’s Testimony
8Yahweh, I love to live in your house, this dwelling place of dazzling glory!
9Don’t treat me as one of these scheming sinners
who plot violence against the innocent.
10Look how they devise their wicked plans;
their hands are always ready to receive a bribe.
11I’m not like them, Lord—not at all.
Save me, redeem me with your mercy,
for I have chosen to walk only in what is right.
12Among the worshipers I will praise Yahweh,
for I am safe and secure because of you!

Walking with Integrity
1Of David. Vindicate me, Adonai, for I have walked in my integrity, and trusted in Adonai without wavering.
2Probe me, Adonai, and test me, refine my mind and my heart.
3For Your love is before my eyes and I have walked in Your truth.
4I have not sat with men of falsehood, nor do I consort with hypocrites.
5I detest the company of evildoers, and do not sit with the wicked.
6I will wash my hands in innocence, so I can walk around Your altar, Adonai,
7hearing the voice of thanksgiving while proclaiming all Your wonders.
8Adonai, I love the House where You live, the place where Your glory dwells.
9Do not take my soul away with sinners, nor my life with people of bloodshed—
10in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hand is full of bribes.
11But I—I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be gracious to me.
12My feet stand on level ground. In congregations I will bless Adonai.
