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 end, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgression.
2 Operi me svega od moje krivice, od grijeha me mojeg očisti!
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Bezakonje svoje priznajem, grijeh je moj svagda preda mnom.
For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually 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 only have I sinned, and done evil before thee: that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
5 Evo, grešan sam već rođen, u grijehu me zače majka moja.
For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.
6 Evo, ti ljubiš srce iskreno, u dubini duše učiš me mudrosti.
For, behold, thou lovest truth: thou hast manifested to me the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom.
7 Poškropi me izopom da se očistim, operi me, i bit ću bjelji od snijega!
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
8 Objavi mi radost i veselje, nek' se obraduju kosti satrvene!
Thou shalt cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.
9 Odvrati lice od grijeha mojih, izbriši svu moju krivicu!
Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine 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 in my inward parts.
11 Ne odbaci me od lica svojega i svoga svetog duha ne uzmi od mene!
Cast me not away from thy presence; and remove 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: establish me with thy directing Spirit.
13 Učit ću bezakonike tvojim stazama, i grešnici tebi će se obraćati.
[Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and ungodly men shall turn 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, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare thy righteousness.
15 Otvori, Gospodine, usne moje, i usta će moja naviještati hvalu tvoju.
O Lord, thou shalt open my lips; and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
16 Žrtve ti se ne mile, kad bih dao paljenicu, ti je ne bi primio.
For if thou desiredst sacrifice, I would have given [it]: thou wilt not take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings.
17 Žrtva Bogu duh je raskajan, srce raskajano, ponizno, Bože, nećeš prezreti.
Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
18 U svojoj dobroti milostiv budi Sionu i opet sagradi jeruzalemske zidine!
Do good, O Lord, to Sion in thy good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
19 Tada će ti biti mile žrtve pravedne i tad će se prinosit' teoci na žrtveniku tvojemu.
Then shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole-burnt-sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar.
