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!
“To the chief musician, a psalm of David, When Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in unto Bath-sheba'.” Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy kindness: according to the greatness of thy 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 of my transgressions I have full knowledge; and my sin is before me continually.
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, thee only, have I sinned, and what is evil in thy eyes have I done: —in order that thou mightest be righteous when thou speakest, be justified when thou judgest.
5 Evo, grešan sam već rođen, u grijehu me zače majka moja.
Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth; 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: therefore do thou cause me to know wisdom in the recesses [of the heart].
7 Poškropi me izopom da se očistim, operi me, i bit ću bjelji od snijega!
Cleanse me from sin 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!
Cause me to hear gladness and joy; 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 all my iniquities do thou blot out.
10 Čisto srce stvori mi, Bože, i duh postojan obnovi u meni!
Create unto me a clean heart, O God; and a firm spirit renew thou 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 thy holy spirit do not take from me.
12 Vrati mi radost svoga spasenja i učvrsti me duhom spremnim!
Restore unto me the gladness of thy salvation; and with a liberal spirit do thou support me.—
13 Učit ću bezakonike tvojim stazama, i grešnici tebi će se obraćati.
I will 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 blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; [that] my tongue may 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 desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: in burnt-offering hast thou no delight.
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, wilt thou not despise.
18 U svojoj dobroti milostiv budi Sionu i opet sagradi jeruzalemske zidine!
Do good in thy favor 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 be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt-offering and entire offering: then shall bullocks be offered upon thy altar.
