I will wash my hands in innocency, and will encompass thine altar, O Jehovah,
I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,
I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass your altar, O LORD:
I will wash my hands in innocency, so I will walk near unto thine altar, O LORD:
I will wash my hands in innocence, and I will walk about your altar, O Yahweh,
I will wash my hands in innocency; so I will go around Your altar, O Jehovah,
I will wash my hands in innocency; so I will go around Your altar, O LORD,
but, with hands washed in innocence, I would march round your altar, O Lord,
but, with hands washed in innocence, I would march round your altar, O Lord,
I will bathe, in pureness, my hands,—so will I go in procession around thine altar, O Yahweh;

He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
He has exalted me upon the rock, and now he has exalted my head above my enemies. I have circled around and offered a sacrifice of loud exclamation in his tabernacle. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm, to the Lord.1
- 26:6The word ‘vociferationis’ does not refer specifically to jubilation, but to a loud, even disruptive outcry, either of protest or of gladness. The Rock upon which he is exalted is the Church. This psalm is about David, who composed psalms to the Lord; therefore, the translation ‘compose a psalm’ is more fitting than merely ‘recite a psalm.’ Also, the word psalm is singular here. If the meaning were merely to recite rather than to compose, then the word psalm would likely be plural.(Conte)
