Psa 51:14 | NET2full | STEP | Rescue me from the guilt of murder , O God , the God who delivers me. Then my tongue will shout for joy because of your righteousness .

‏ Psalms 51:14

14 Rescue me from the guilt of murder, ^{▼▼tn Heb “from bloodshed.” “Bloodshed” here stands by metonymy for the guilt which it produces.} O God, the God who delivers me.
Then my tongue will shout for joy because of your righteousness. ^{▼▼tn Heb “my tongue will shout for joy your righteousness.” Another option is to take the prefixed verbal form as a jussive, “may my tongue shout for joy.” However, the pattern in vv. 12-15 appears to be prayer/request (see vv. 12, 14a, 15a) followed by promise/vow (see vv. 13, 14b, 15b).}
