"Free me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will extol your justice. "
— Psalms 50:16, Catholic Public Domain Version
“But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?”
“ But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth, ”
“But to the wicked God says, "What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,”
“God says this to the evildoer:“How can you declare my commands, and talk about my covenant?”
“Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice.”
“But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?”
“But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?”
Do not cast me away from your face; and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and confirm me with an unsurpassed spirit.
I will teach the unjust your ways, and the impious will be converted to you.
Free me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will extol your justice.
O Lord, you will open my lips, and my mouth will announce your praise.
For if you had desired sacrifice, I would certainly have given it, but with holocausts, you will not be delighted.
A crushed spirit is a sacrifice to God. A contrite and humbled heart, O God, you will not spurn.
