Psalms Against Dominant Culture during Repentance/Atonement Season

Wash ourselves - Recover - of the guilt of Dominant Culture.

It is a world of favoritism, patronage, currency, and control-freakness both because of human nature
(part of each of us is the"bad guys" spoken of us here,
part of each of us is the "innocent" spoken of here)
and because of feeling like we need to "play the game" to get what we want.

Part of Psalm 26 (verse 11, cut off) is vulnerability to have integrity amidst the game, not to lose ourselves while playing it.
Yes it's part of human nature, we all thus must wash our hands,
yet in prayer of gratitude and focus on what's real (art, beauty, truth, love),
we transcend that part of ourselves, if only for a moment
