With the closing of 2011 I am personally ending my year long focus on Psalm 26. Though I need to develop a lesson from my considerations I am looking forward to the next psalm I will ponder; psalm 19. The contrast between these two psalms is interesting. Psalm 26 is a call to God for his deliverance from oppression and false accusation. I imagine David penned the poem after hearing reports of king Saul's tirades against his character. We know that David was vindicated but it took a great deal of faith for him to allow God to work. Psalm 19 is a song of worship. No requests are offered until the end of the psalm. Then they are requests for purity and grace. Which are prayers God is always seeking to answer.
