Context
Psalm 26 1 

By David.

26:1 Vindicate me, O Lord,

for I have integrity, 2 

and I trust in the Lord without wavering.

Psalms 26:11

Context

26:11 But I have integrity! 3 

Rescue me 4  and have mercy on me!

1 sn Psalm 26. The author invites the Lord to test his integrity, asserts his innocence and declares his loyalty to God.

2 tn Heb “for I in my integrity walk.”

3 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.

4 tn Or “redeem me.”
