NETBible

I concluded,¹ “Surely in vain I have kept my motives² pure and maintained a pure lifestyle.³

NET Notes

¹tn The words “I concluded” are supplied in the translation. It is apparent that vv. 13-14 reflect the psalmist’s thoughts at an earlier time (see vv. 2-3), prior to the spiritual awakening he describes in vv. 17-28.

²tn Heb “heart,” viewed here as the seat of one’s thoughts and motives.

³tn Heb “and washed my hands in innocence.” The psalmist uses an image from cultic ritual to picture his moral lifestyle. The reference to “hands” suggests actions.
