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 Leader. A Psalm of David; When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to Thy mercy; according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions.

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 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, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified when Thou speakest, and be in the right when Thou judgest.

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

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

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

Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.

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

Purge 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 hast crushed may rejoice.

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

Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

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

Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast 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 unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me.

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

Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.

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

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue 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 declare Thy praise.

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

For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast 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 a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.

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

Do good in Thy favour unto 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 wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt-offering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar.
