Psalm 26:6-7 I wash my hands in innocence and go around your altar, O Lord, proclaiming thanksgiving aloud, and telling all your wondrous deeds.
Here is one of those verses that makes me uneasy. Throughout the Psalm, David is calling out to God for His deliverance, based upon his integrity - he loves worshipping in God's house and does not run with evil men. Maybe this is why we do not "proclaim thanksgiving aloud" more often - we do not have the integrity David did; we are not free to let loose, lest we look like hypocrites. But rather than refrain from thanksgiving, something we are commanded to do, this should move us to develop our integrity, to sanctify our lives - to give people a reason to believe us when we give thanks to the Lord
