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!

Unto the end, a psalm of David, When Nathan the prophet came to him after he had sinned with Bethsabee. Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.

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

Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 Bezakonje svoje priznajem, grijeh je moj svagda preda mnom.

For I know my iniquity, 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.

To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: that thou mayst be justified in thy words and mayst 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 hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.

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 cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

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

To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.

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

Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

10 Čisto srce stvori mi, Bože, i duh postojan obnovi u meni!

Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.

11 Ne odbaci me od lica svojega i svoga svetog duha ne uzmi od mene!

Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

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

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.

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

I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked 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, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice.

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

O Lord, thou wilt 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 hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.

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

A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

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

Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.

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

Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
