Psalms 51:14 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Bloodguiltiness... — Literally, as in the margin, bloods. So in LXX. and in Vulg., but thus hardly making it clear whether the word implies the guilt of blood already shed or anticipated violence. The latter would rather have taken the form of Psalms 59:2, “from men of blood.” Probably we should read “from death,” as in Psalms 56:13.

Psalms 51:14

14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness,c O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
