Psalms 51
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness. According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
in finem psalmus David cum venit ad eum Nathan propheta quando intravit ad Bethsabee miserere mei Deus secundum magnam misericordiam tuam et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum dele iniquitatem meam
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea et a peccato meo munda me
3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco et peccatum meum contra me est semper
4 Against thee, thee only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, that thou may be justified when thou speak, and may prevail when thou are criticized.
tibi soli peccavi et malum coram te feci ut iustificeris in sermonibus tuis et vincas cum iudicaris
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.
ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum et in peccatis concepit me mater mea
6 Behold, thou desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part thou will make me to know wisdom.
ecce enim veritatem dilexisti incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
asparges me hysopo et mundabor lavabis me et super nivem dealbabor
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which thou have broken may rejoice.
auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam exultabunt ossa humiliata
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis et omnes iniquitates meas dele
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
cor mundum crea in me Deus et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis
11 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me.
ne proicias me a facie tua et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me
12 Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui et spiritu principali confirma me
13 Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted to thee.
docebo iniquos vias tuas et impii ad te convertentur
14 Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation. And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
libera me de sanguinibus Deus Deus salutis meae exultabit lingua mea iustitiam tuam
15 O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
Domine labia mea aperies et os meum adnuntiabit laudem tuam
16 For thou delight not in sacrifice, else I would give it. Thou have no pleasure in burnt offering.
quoniam si voluisses sacrificium dedissem utique holocaustis non delectaberis
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou will not despise.
sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus cor contritum et humiliatum Deus non spernet
18 Do good in thy good pleasure to Zion. Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
benigne fac Domine in bona voluntate tua Sion et aedificentur muri Hierusalem
19 Then thou will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offering and in whole burnt offering. Then they will offer bullocks upon thine altar.
tunc acceptabis sacrificium iustitiae oblationes et holocausta tunc inponent super altare tuum vitulos
