Mazmur 51:14

51:14 Rescue me from the guilt of murder, ¹  O God, the God who delivers me!

Then my tongue will shout for joy because of your deliverance. ² 

Mazmur 119:175

119:175 May I ³  live and praise you!

May your regulations help me! ⁴ 

[51:14]  ¹ tn Heb “from bloodshed.” “Bloodshed” here stands by metonymy for the guilt which it produces.

[51:14]  ² tn Heb “my tongue will shout for joy your deliverance.” 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).

[119:175]  ³ tn Heb “my life.”

[119:175]  ⁴ tn God’s regulations will “help” the psalmist by giving him moral and ethical guidance.
