Psalmi 51
1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Kad je k Davidu došao prorok Natan poslije njegova grijeha Smiluj mi se, Bože, po milosrđu svome, po velikom smilovanju izbriši moje bezakonje!
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness. According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Operi me svega od moje krivice, od grijeha me mojeg očisti!
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Bezakonje svoje priznajem, grijeh je moj svagda preda mnom.
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
4 Tebi, samom tebi ja sam zgriješio i učinio što je zlo pred tobom: pravedan ćeš biti kad progovoriš, bez prijekora kada presudiš.
Against thee, thee only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, that thou may be justified when thou speak, and may prevail when thou are criticized.
5 Evo, grešan sam već rođen, u grijehu me zače majka moja.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.
6 Evo, ti ljubiš srce iskreno, u dubini duše učiš me mudrosti.
Behold, thou desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part thou will make me to know wisdom.
7 Poškropi me izopom da se očistim, operi me, i bit ću bjelji od snijega!
Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Objavi mi radost i veselje, nek' se obraduju kosti satrvene!
Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which thou have broken may rejoice.
9 Odvrati lice od grijeha mojih, izbriši svu moju krivicu!
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Čisto srce stvori mi, Bože, i duh postojan obnovi u meni!
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Ne odbaci me od lica svojega i svoga svetog duha ne uzmi od mene!
Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me.
12 Vrati mi radost svoga spasenja i učvrsti me duhom spremnim!
Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
13 Učit ću bezakonike tvojim stazama, i grešnici tebi će se obraćati.
Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted to thee.
14 Oslobodi me od krvi prolivene, Bože, Bože spasitelju moj! Nek' mi jezik kliče pravednosti tvojoj!
Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation. And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 Otvori, Gospodine, usne moje, i usta će moja naviještati hvalu tvoju.
O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
16 Žrtve ti se ne mile, kad bih dao paljenicu, ti je ne bi primio.
For thou delight not in sacrifice, else I would give it. Thou have no pleasure in burnt offering.
17 Žrtva Bogu duh je raskajan, srce raskajano, ponizno, Bože, nećeš prezreti.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou will not despise.
18 U svojoj dobroti milostiv budi Sionu i opet sagradi jeruzalemske zidine!
Do good in thy good pleasure to Zion. Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Tada će ti biti mile žrtve pravedne i tad će se prinosit' teoci na žrtveniku tvojemu.
Then thou will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offering and in whole burnt offering. Then they will offer bullocks upon thine altar.
