Psalms 51:14

Context

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 

1 tn Heb “from bloodshed.” “Bloodshed” here stands by metonymy for the guilt which it produces.

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).
