Psalms 26:11-12

26:11 But I have integrity!

Rescue me and have mercy on me!

26:12 I am safe,

and among the worshipers I will praise the Lord.


tn Heb “and I in my integrity walk.” The psalmist uses the imperfect verbal form to emphasize this is his practice. The construction at the beginning of the verse (conjunction + pronoun) highlights the contrast between the psalmist and the sinners mentioned in vv. 9-10.

tn Or “redeem me.”

tn Heb “my foot stands in a level place.”
