Daniel 9:7
Context9:7 “You are righteous, 1 O Lord, but we are humiliated this day 2 – the people 3 of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far away in all the countries in which you have scattered them, because they have behaved unfaithfully toward you.
Nehemiah 9:33
Context9:33 You are righteous with regard to all that has happened to us, for you have acted faithfully. 4 It is we who have been in the wrong!
Psalms 51:14
Context51:14 Rescue me from the guilt of murder, 5 O God, the God who delivers me!
Then my tongue will shout for joy because of your deliverance. 6
[9:7] 1 tn Heb “to you (belongs) righteousness.”
[9:7] 2 tn Heb “and to us (belongs) shame of face like this day.”
[9:33] 4 tn Heb “you have done truth.”
[51:14] 5 tn Heb “from bloodshed.” “Bloodshed” here stands by metonymy for the guilt which it produces.
[51:14] 6 tn Heb “my tongue will shout for joy your deliverance.” Another option is to take the prefixed verbal form as a jussive, “may my tongue shout for joy.” However, the pattern in vv. 12-15 appears to be prayer/request (see vv. 12, 14a, 15a) followed by promise/vow (see vv. 13, 14b, 15b).
