In verses 13 and 14, Asaph continues to describe how he sometimes wants to complain to God about those who are "arrogant" and "wicked" ([Psalms 73:3](../073/003.md)). In verse 15 he begins to talk about what he is really thinking.

# washed my hands in innocence
2017-06-21 20:47:54 +00:00
The writer speaks of his purity as if he had washed his hands with innocence instead of with water. See how you translated this in [Psalms 26:6](../026/006.md). Alternate translation: "my actions have remained pure" or "I have washed my hands to show that I am innocent" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
