Do not take away my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood,

But You, O God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction; bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in You.

Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God He made man.

And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the boy; and you would not listen? Therefore behold, his blood is now required of us.

And afterward, when David heard it, he said, My kingdom and I are guiltless before Jehovah forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.

And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set Uriah in the forefront of the strongest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die.

And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab. And some of the people of the servants of David fell; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

Why have you despised the Word of Jehovah, to do evil in His eyes? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.

Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David besought the face of Jehovah. And Jehovah answered, It is because of Saul and his bloody house, because he had killed the Gibeonites.

When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall die the death! and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.

Swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and the committing of adultery burst forth. And blood touches against blood.

But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.

Therefore I testify to you this day that I am blameless from the blood of everyone.

Make haste to help me, O Lord, my Salvation!

Our Mighty God is the God of salvation; and unto Jehovah the Lord belong the escapes from death.

i1 [A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician. Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite.] i0 par O Jehovah the God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before You.

Behold, the Mighty God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid; for YAH JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; He also has become my salvation.

But Israel shall be saved in Jehovah with an everlasting salvation. You shall not be ashamed nor humiliated to everlasting eternity.

yet I will exult in Jehovah; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.

And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness and of Your praise all day long.

My mouth shall recount Your righteousness and Your salvation all the day; for I do not know their number.

O God, You have taught me from my youth; and to this day I have declared Your marvelous works.

Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, You who have done great things. O God, who is like You,

You will increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I make music unto You, and my soul, which You have redeemed.

I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Your name always.

For great is Your mercy toward me, and You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since You our God have held back from the bending down in punishment of our iniquities, and have given us such deliverance as this,

However You are just in all that has come upon us; for You have dealt faithfully, but we have done wickedly.

O Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but to us the shame of face, as it is this day to the men of Judah, and to those living in Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near and who are afar in all the lands where You have driven them for their unfaithfulness which they have trespassed against You.

O Lord, I pray, according to all Your righteousness, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain. For because of our sins and for our fathers' iniquities, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach to all those around us.

For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
