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!

The Prayer of an Innocent Man
Of David.
1Lord, defend me.
I have lived an innocent life.
I trusted the Lord and never doubted.
2Lord, try me and test me.
Look closely into my heart and mind.
3I see your love.
I live by your truth.
4I do not spend time with liars.
I do not make friends with people who hide their sin.
5I hate the company of evil people.
I won’t sit with the wicked.
6I wash my hands to show I am innocent.
I come to your altar, Lord.
7I raise my voice in praise.
I tell of all the miracles you have done.
8Lord, I love the Temple where you live.
It is where your greatness is.
9Do not kill me with those sinners.
Do not take my life with those murderers.
10Evil is in their hands.
They do wrong for money.
11But I have lived an innocent life.
So save me and be kind to me.
12I stand in a safe place.
Lord, I praise you in the great meeting.
