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!

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after his adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving devotion; according to Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions.

2 Operi me svega od moje krivice, od grijeha me mojeg očisti!

Wash me clean of 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 always 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 You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.

5 Evo, grešan sam već rođen, u grijehu me zače majka moja.

Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

6 Evo, ti ljubiš srce iskreno, u dubini duše učiš me mudrosti.

Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

7 Poškropi me izopom da se očistim, operi me, i bit ću bjelji od snijega!

Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 Objavi mi radost i veselje, nek' se obraduju kosti satrvene!

Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.

9 Odvrati lice od grijeha mojih, izbriši svu moju krivicu!

Hide Your 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 Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Vrati mi radost svoga spasenja i učvrsti me duhom spremnim!

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.

13 Učit ću bezakonike tvojim stazama, i grešnici tebi će se obraćati.

Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.

14 Oslobodi me od krvi prolivene, Bože, Bože spasitelju moj! Nek' mi jezik kliče pravednosti tvojoj!

Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.

15 Otvori, Gospodine, usne moje, i usta će moja naviještati hvalu tvoju.

O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.

16 Žrtve ti se ne mile, kad bih dao paljenicu, ti je ne bi primio.

For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.

17 Žrtva Bogu duh je raskajan, srce raskajano, ponizno, Bože, nećeš prezreti.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

18 U svojoj dobroti milostiv budi Sionu i opet sagradi jeruzalemske zidine!

In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Tada će ti biti mile žrtve pravedne i tad će se prinosit' teoci na žrtveniku tvojemu.

Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
