New International Version (NIV)

13Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure

and have washed my hands in innocence.

13Surely in vain I have 73:13 Or cleansed my heartkept my heart pure

And washed my hands in innocence;

13Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure

And washed my hands in innocence;

13Surely then in vain I have cleansed my heart

And washed my hands in innocence. [Mal 3:14]

13Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure;

in innocence I have washed my hands.

13It seems as if I have kept my heart pure for no reason.

It didn’t do me any good to wash my hands

to show that I wasn’t guilty of doing anything wrong.
