Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].

we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].

I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
