|Background Ideas=<ul><li>'''YHWH as righteous judge:''' YHWH punishes the wicked and vindicates the righteous (Ross, 306; Gen. 18:25; 1 Sam. 3:13; 24:16; Ps. 7:8; Ps. 9; Ps. 50:6; Ps. 67:4; Is 1:17). The HB repeatedly presents humankind as crying out to God for justice (to judge wickedness and reward righteousness), from the story of Cain (“The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to me” Genesis 4:10) to the cry of Sodom and the very different cry of Abraham in intercession for it (Genesis 18:20–21), to the cry of the Israelites in Egypt (Exodus 2:23-25; 3:7).</li> | |||
<li> '''Integrity/Innocence:''' The HB and this passage reflect and linguistically portray the standard that the people of God are called to live in integrity and wholeness. (e.g. there are linguistic links between David walking in his integrity (בְּתֻמִּ֣י) and the stipulations of the Abrahamic covenant in Gen. 17:1 [to Abraham]: "walk before Me and be blameless (וֶהְיֵ֥ה תָמִֽים). I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly").</li> | |||
<li> '''Testing, trying and refining:''' This process "serves not only the purpose of testing, but also of refining and working the metal... The suppliant of Ps. 26... asks... for that testing (v. 2a) which simultaneously implies purification (v. 2b)... As a purified man, he can expect to find salvation in the sanctuary" (Keel, 183-4).</li> | |||
<li> '''Covenant:''' David is in covenant with YHWH, and YHWH’s covenant loyalty framed David’s view of his life cf. 2 Samuel 7:8-16. The cry for mercy in verse 11 is related to the YHWH's merciful character (Exodus 34:6-7).</li></ul> | |||
