Psalms 51
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Be gracious unto me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness; according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ בְּֽבוֹא־אֵלָיו נָתָן הַנָּבִיא כַּאֲשֶׁר־בָּא אֶל־בַּת־שָֽׁבַע׃ חׇנֵּנִי אֱלֹהִים כְּחַסְדֶּךָ כְּרֹב רַחֲמֶיךָ מְחֵה פְשָׁעָֽי׃ |
2 Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
| (הרבה) [הֶרֶב] כַּבְּסֵנִי מֵעֲוֺנִי וּֽמֵחַטָּאתִי טַהֲרֵֽנִי׃ |
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.
| כִּֽי־פְשָׁעַי אֲנִי אֵדָע וְחַטָּאתִי נֶגְדִּי תָמִֽיד׃ |
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.
| לְךָ לְבַדְּךָ ׀ חָטָאתִי וְהָרַע בְּעֵינֶיךָ עָשִׂיתִי לְמַעַן תִּצְדַּק בְּדׇבְרֶךָ תִּזְכֶּה בְשׇׁפְטֶֽךָ׃ |
5 Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
| הֵן־בְּעָווֹן חוֹלָלְתִּי וּבְחֵטְא יֶחֱמַתְנִי אִמִּֽי׃ |
6 Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
| הֵן־אֱמֶת חָפַצְתָּ בַטֻּחוֹת וּבְסָתֻם חׇכְמָה תוֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃ |
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
| תְּחַטְּאֵנִי בְאֵזוֹב וְאֶטְהָר תְּכַבְּסֵנִי וּמִשֶּׁלֶג אַלְבִּֽין׃ |
8 Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
| תַּשְׁמִיעֵנִי שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה תָּגֵלְנָה עֲצָמוֹת דִּכִּֽיתָ׃ |
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
| הַסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ מֵחֲטָאָי וְֽכׇל־עֲוֺנֹתַי מְחֵֽה׃ |
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
| לֵב טָהוֹר בְּרָא־לִי אֱלֹהִים וְרוּחַ נָכוֹן חַדֵּשׁ בְּקִרְבִּֽי׃ |
11 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.
| אַל־תַּשְׁלִיכֵנִי מִלְּפָנֶיךָ וְרוּחַ קׇדְשְׁךָ אַל־תִּקַּח מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ |
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.
| הָשִׁיבָה לִּי שְׂשׂוֹן יִשְׁעֶךָ וְרוּחַ נְדִיבָה תִסְמְכֵֽנִי׃ |
13 I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.
| אֲלַמְּדָה פֹשְׁעִים דְּרָכֶיךָ וְחַטָּאִים אֵלֶיךָ יָשֽׁוּבוּ׃ |
14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
| הַצִּילֵנִי מִדָּמִים ׀ אֱֽלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי תְשׁוּעָתִי תְּרַנֵּן לְשׁוֹנִי צִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃ |
15 Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
| אֲדֹנָי שְׂפָתַי תִּפְתָּח וּפִי יַגִּיד תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ |
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
| כִּי ׀ לֹא־תַחְפֹּץ זֶבַח וְאֶתֵּנָה עוֹלָה לֹא תִרְצֶֽה׃ |
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
| זִבְחֵי אֱלֹהִים רוּחַ נִשְׁבָּרָה לֵב־נִשְׁבָּר וְנִדְכֶּה אֱלֹהִים לֹא תִבְזֶֽה׃ |
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.
| הֵיטִיבָה בִרְצוֹנְךָ אֶת־צִיּוֹן תִּבְנֶה חוֹמוֹת יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ |
19 Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.
| אָז תַּחְפֹּץ זִבְחֵי־צֶדֶק עוֹלָה וְכָלִיל אָז יַעֲלוּ עַל־מִזְבַּחֲךָ פָרִֽים׃ |
