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 him that excelleth. A Psalme of David, when the Prophet Nathan came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have mercie vpon me, O God, according to thy louing kindnes: according to the multitude of thy compassions put away mine iniquities.

٢ 2 ٱغْسِلْنِي كَثِيرًا مِنْ إِثْمِي، وَمِنْ خَطِيَّتِي طَهِّرْنِي.

Wash me throughly from mine iniquitie, and clense me from my sinne.

٣ 3 لِأَنِّي عَارِفٌ بِمَعَاصِيَّ، وَخَطِيَّتِي أَمَامِي دَائِمًا.

For I know mine iniquities, and my sinne is euer before me.

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

Against thee, against thee onely haue I sinned, and done euill in thy sight, that thou mayest be iust when thou speakest, and pure when thou iudgest.

٥ 5 هَأَنَذَا بِٱلْإِثْمِ صُوِّرْتُ، وَبِٱلْخَطِيَّةِ حَبِلَتْ بِي أُمِّي.

Beholde, I was borne in iniquitie, and in sinne hath my mother conceiued me.

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

Beholde, thou louest trueth in the inwarde affections: therefore hast thou taught mee wisedome in the secret of mine heart.

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

Purge me with hyssope, and I shalbe cleane: wash me, and I shalbe whiter then snowe.

٨ 8 أَسْمِعْنِي سُرُورًا وَفَرَحًا، فَتَبْتَهِجَ عِظَامٌ سَحَقْتَهَا.

Make me to heare ioye and gladnes, that the bones, which thou hast broken, may reioyce.

٩ 9 ٱسْتُرْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ خَطَايَايَ، وَٱمْحُ كُلَّ آثَامِي.

Hide thy face from my sinnes, and put away all mine iniquities.

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

Create in mee a cleane heart, O God, and renue a right spirit within me.

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

Cast mee not away from thy presence, and take not thine holy Spirit from me.

١٢ 12 رُدَّ لِي بَهْجَةَ خَلَاصِكَ، وَبِرُوحٍ مُنْتَدِبَةٍ ٱعْضُدْنِي.

Restore to me the ioy of thy saluation, and stablish me with thy free Spirit.

١٣ 13 فَأُعَلِّمَ ٱلْأَثَمَةَ طُرُقَكَ، وَٱلْخُطَاةُ إِلَيْكَ يَرْجِعُونَ.

Then shall I teache thy wayes vnto the wicked, and sinners shalbe conuerted vnto thee.

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

Deliuer me from blood, O God, which art the God of my saluation, and my tongue shall sing ioyfully of thy righteousnes.

١٥ 15 يَارَبُّ ٱفْتَحْ شَفَتَيَّ، فَيُخْبِرَ فَمِي بِتَسْبِيحِكَ.

Open thou my lippes, O Lord, and my mouth shall shewe foorth thy praise.

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

For thou desirest no sacrifice, though I would giue it: thou delitest not in burnt offering.

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

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

١٨ 18 أَحْسِنْ بِرِضَاكَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ. ٱبْنِ أَسْوَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

Bee fauourable vnto Zion for thy good pleasure: builde the walles of Ierusalem.

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

Then shalt thou accept ye sacrifices of righteousnes, euen the burnt offering and oblation: then shall they offer calues vpon thine altar.
