诗篇 51
1 大卫与拔示巴同室以后，先知拿单来见他；他作这诗，交与伶长。 神啊，求你按你的慈爱怜恤我！ 按你丰盛的慈悲涂抹我的过犯！
For the leader. A psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet come to him after he had been with Bathsheba. In your kindness, O God, be gracious to me, in your own great pity blot out my transgressions.
2 求你将我的罪孽洗除净尽， 并洁除我的罪！
Wash me clean of my guilt, make me pure of my sin.
3 因为，我知道我的过犯； 我的罪常在我面前。
For well I know my transgressions, my sin is ever before me.
4 我向你犯罪，惟独得罪了你； 在你眼前行了这恶， 以致你责备我的时候显为公义， 判断我的时候显为清正。
Against you, only you, have I sinned, and done that which is wrong in your sight: you therefore are just when you speak, and clear when you utter judgment.
5 我是在罪孽里生的， 在我母亲怀胎的时候就有了罪。
See! In guilt was I brought to the birth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 你所喜爱的是内里诚实； 你在我隐密处，必使我得智慧。
It’s the innermost truth you desire, give me therefore true wisdom of heart.
7 求你用牛膝草洁净我，我就干净； 求你洗涤我，我就比雪更白。
Purge me clean with hyssop, wash me whiter than snow.
8 求你使我得听欢喜快乐的声音， 使你所压伤的骨头可以踊跃。
Fill me with joy and gladness, let the bones you have broken rejoice.
9 求你掩面不看我的罪， 涂抹我一切的罪孽。
Hide your face from my sins, and blot out my guilt altogether.
10 神啊，求你为我造清洁的心， 使我里面重新有正直的灵。
Create me a clean heart, O God, put a new steadfast spirit within me.
11 不要丢弃我，使我离开你的面； 不要从我收回你的圣灵。
Cast me not forth from your presence, withdraw not your holy spirit.
12 求你使我仍得救恩之乐， 赐我乐意的灵扶持我，
Give me back the joy of your help, with a willing spirit sustain me.
13 我就把你的道指教有过犯的人， 罪人必归顺你。
I will teach your ways to transgressors, and sinners shall turn to you.
14 神啊，你是拯救我的 神； 求你救我脱离流人血的罪！ 我的舌头就高声歌唱你的公义。
Save me from blood, O God, and my tongue shall ring out your faithfulness.
15 主啊，求你使我嘴唇张开， 我的口便传扬赞美你的话！
Open my lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall declare your praise.
16 你本不喜爱祭物，若喜爱，我就献上； 燔祭，你也不喜悦。
For in sacrifice you have no pleasure, in gifts of burnt-offering no delight.
17 神所要的祭就是忧伤的灵； 神啊，忧伤痛悔的心，你必不轻看。
The sacrifice pleasing to God is a spirit that is broken; a heart that is crushed, O God, you will not despise.
18 求你随你的美意善待锡安， 建造耶路撒冷的城墙。
Do good in your pleasure to Zion, build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 那时，你必喜爱公义的祭 和燔祭并全牲的燔祭； 那时，人必将公牛献在你坛上。
Then will you welcome the due forms of sacrifice, then on your altars shall bullocks be offered.
