اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 51

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ نَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ بَعْدَ مَا دَخَلَ إِلَى بَثْشَبَعَ اِرْحَمْنِي يَا ٱللهُ حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ. حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ رَأْفَتِكَ ٱمْحُ مَعَاصِيَّ.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

٢ 2 ٱغْسِلْنِي كَثِيرًا مِنْ إِثْمِي، وَمِنْ خَطِيَّتِي طَهِّرْنِي.

Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

٣ 3 لِأَنِّي عَارِفٌ بِمَعَاصِيَّ، وَخَطِيَّتِي أَمَامِي دَائِمًا.

For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.

٤ 4 إِلَيْكَ وَحْدَكَ أَخْطَأْتُ، وَٱلشَّرَّ قُدَّامَ عَيْنَيْكَ صَنَعْتُ، لِكَيْ تَتَبَرَّرَ فِي أَقْوَالِكَ، وَتَزْكُوَ فِي قَضَائِكَ.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.

٥ 5 هَأَنَذَا بِٱلْإِثْمِ صُوِّرْتُ، وَبِٱلْخَطِيَّةِ حَبِلَتْ بِي أُمِّي.

Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

٦ 6 هَا قَدْ سُرِرْتَ بِٱلْحَقِّ فِي ٱلْبَاطِنِ، فَفِي ٱلسَّرِيرَةِ تُعَرِّفُنِي حِكْمَةً.

Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

٧ 7 طَهِّرْنِي بِٱلزُّوفَا فَأَطْهُرَ. ٱغْسِلْنِي فَأَبْيَضَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلثَّلْجِ.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

٨ 8 أَسْمِعْنِي سُرُورًا وَفَرَحًا، فَتَبْتَهِجَ عِظَامٌ سَحَقْتَهَا.

Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

٩ 9 ٱسْتُرْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ خَطَايَايَ، وَٱمْحُ كُلَّ آثَامِي.

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

١٠ 10 قَلْبًا نَقِيًّا ٱخْلُقْ فِيَّ يَا ٱللهُ، وَرُوحًا مُسْتَقِيمًا جَدِّدْ فِي دَاخِلِي.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

١١ 11 لَا تَطْرَحْنِي مِنْ قُدَّامِ وَجْهِكَ، وَرُوحَكَ ٱلْقُدُّوسَ لَا تَنْزِعْهُ مِنِّي.

Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.

١٢ 12 رُدَّ لِي بَهْجَةَ خَلَاصِكَ، وَبِرُوحٍ مُنْتَدِبَةٍ ٱعْضُدْنِي.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.

١٣ 13 فَأُعَلِّمَ ٱلْأَثَمَةَ طُرُقَكَ، وَٱلْخُطَاةُ إِلَيْكَ يَرْجِعُونَ.

I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.

١٤ 14 نَجِّنِي مِنَ ٱلدِّمَاءِ يَا ٱللهُ، إِلَهَ خَلَاصِي، فَيُسَبِّحَ لِسَانِي بِرَّكَ.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

١٥ 15 يَارَبُّ ٱفْتَحْ شَفَتَيَّ، فَيُخْبِرَ فَمِي بِتَسْبِيحِكَ.

Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّكَ لَا تُسَرُّ بِذَبِيحَةٍ وَإِلَّا فَكُنْتُ أُقَدِّمُهَا. بِمُحْرَقَةٍ لَا تَرْضَى.

For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

١٧ 17 ذَبَائِحُ ٱللهِ هِيَ رُوحٌ مُنْكَسِرَةٌ. ٱلْقَلْبُ ٱلْمُنْكَسِرُ وَٱلْمُنْسَحِقُ يَا ٱللهُ لَا تَحْتَقِرُهُ.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

١٨ 18 أَحْسِنْ بِرِضَاكَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ. ٱبْنِ أَسْوَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.

١٩ 19 حِينَئِذٍ تُسَرُّ بِذَبَائِحِ ٱلْبِرِّ، مُحْرَقَةٍ وَتَقْدِمَةٍ تَامَّةٍ. حِينَئِذٍ يُصْعِدُونَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِكَ عُجُولًا.

Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.
