Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

0:07.0

In the beginning of Psalm 26, it may seem like David is boasting about his righteousness,

0:18.0

but as he continues on, he makes it clear that the source of his righteousness is God's steadfast love.

0:24.4

That's what enables him to trust in God.

In verse 3, he says he's walking in God's faithfulness, not his own.

0:31.8

This is another crucial distinction. He loves the nearness of

God and hates the things God opposes. This Psalm was likely written about the time when

this Psalm almost seems to fit his storyline perfectly so far.

1:22.0

In verse 1, he waits patiently by seems to fit his storyline perfectly so far.

1:23.0

In verse one, he waits patiently before the Lord,

1:26.1

just as he waited 15 years to be king.

1:28.8

In verse two, God drew him up out of the pit of destruction

1:32.4

when Saul was trying to destroy his life.

1:35.3

And David continued to praise God, and God continued to bless David.
