6 you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, Lord, detest.
6 You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
6 God destroys Lie-Speaker; Blood-Thirsty and Truth-Bender disgust you.
6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
6 You will destroy those who tell lies. The Lord detests murderers and deceivers.
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
14 Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God, and I'll sing anthems to your life-giving ways.
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
14 Forgive me for shedding blood, OÂ God who saves; then I will joyfully sing of your forgiveness.
(Read Psalm 51:7-15)
Purge me with hyssop, with the blood of Christ applied to my soul by a lively faith, as the water of purification was sprinkled with a bunch of hyssop. The blood of Christ is called the blood of sprinkling, Galatians 5:1. It is the Spirit of adoption spoken to the heart. Those to whom God is the God of salvation, he will deliver from guilt; for the salvation he is the God of, is salvation from sin. We may therefore plead with him, Lord, thou art the God of my salvation, therefore deliver me from the dominion of sin. And when the lips are opened, what should they speak but the praises of God for his forgiving mercy?
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 5:6
Commentary on Psalm 5:1-6
(Read Psalm 5:1-6)
God is a prayer-hearing God. Such he has always been, and he is still as ready to hear prayer as ever. The most encouraging principle of prayer, and the most powerful plea in prayer, is, to look upon him as our King and our God. David also prays to a sin-hating God. sin is folly, and sinners are the greatest of all fools; fools of their own making. Wicked people hate God; justly are they hated of him, and this will be their endless misery and ruin. Let us learn the importance of truth and sincerity, in all the affairs of life. Liars and murderers resemble the devil, and are his children, therefore it may well be expected that God should abhor them. These were the characters of David's enemies; and such as these are still the enemies of Christ and his people.
