Bloodguiltiness

When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will certainly die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die because of his sin; but I will require his blood from your hand.

There is [false] swearing of oaths, deception (broken faith), murder, stealing, and adultery;
They employ violence, so that one [act of] bloodshed follows closely on another.

But since the Jews kept resisting and opposing him, and blaspheming [God], he shook out his robe and said to them, “Your blood (damnation) be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

For that reason I testify to you on this [our parting] day that I am innocent of the blood of all people.

Thou god

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

God is to us a God of acts of salvation;
And to God the Lord belong escapes from death [setting us free].

O Lord, the God of my salvation,
I have cried out [for help] by day and in the night before You.

“Behold, God, my salvation!
I will trust and not be afraid,
For the Lord God is my strength and song;
Yes, He has become my salvation.”

Israel has been saved by the Lord
With an everlasting salvation;
You will not be put to shame or humiliated
for all eternity.

Yet I will [choose to] rejoice in the Lord;
I will [choose to] shout in exultation in the [victorious] God of my salvation!

Tongue

And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness (justice),
And Your praise all the day long.

My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And of Your [deeds of] salvation all day long,
For their number is more than I know.

I will give thanks and praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart;
And will glorify Your name forevermore.

Righteousness

And after everything that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since You our God have punished us less than our wrongdoings deserve, and have given us survivors like these,

“However, You are just and righteous in everything that has come upon us;
For You have dealt faithfully, but we have acted wickedly.

“Righteousness belongs to You, O Lord, but to us confusion and open shame, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away, in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of the [treacherous] acts of unfaithfulness which they have committed against You.

For not knowing about God’s righteousness [which is based on faith], and seeking to establish their own [righteousness based on works], they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

General references

And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness (justice),
And Your praise all the day long.

My mouth is filled with Your praise
And with Your glory all day long.

So that people may declare the name of the Lord in Zion
And His praise in Jerusalem,

What will I give to the Lord [in return]
For all His benefits toward me?
[How can I repay Him for His precious blessings?]
