Psalms 51:14 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Bloodguiltiness. Apparently specific reference to the murder of Uriah (see 2 Sam. 11:14–17). David pleads that the sentence may not fall upon him.

God of my salvation. See Ps. 18:46 ; 25:5; 27:9. David recognizes that salvation may be found only in God.
