Psalm 26

In verse 6 David uses the picture of freshly washed hands to display the innocence in his life. That passage brings to my mind Pilate's actions as Matthew recorded them. (27:24) He too washed his hands to symbolize that he was innocent in Jesus' death. Yet that attempt to transfer guilt failed. Pilate was co-conspiritor with the Jewish leader in Jesus' murder. David's washed hands were not only a reflection of his heart but also a perfect picture of the life of the son of David; Jesus of Nazareth. His entire life was one of innocence.
