Against you, you alone, I have sinned, and done what is evil in your eyes; so that you may be justified when you speak and pure when you judge.
“justified.” The Hebrew word can also be translated as “righteous.”
“so that you may be justified when you speak and pure when you judge.” Psalm 51:4 is quoted in Romans 3:4, but Romans quotes the Septuagint, not the Masoretic Hebrew text.
