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.

Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov, Ko je prišel k njemu Natan prerok, potem ko se je bil sešèl z Betsebo. Milosten mi bodi, o Bog, po dobroti svoji; po obilosti svojega usmiljenja izbriši pregrehe moje.

2 Wash me fully from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Dobro me operi krivice moje, in greha mojega očisti me.

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is continually before me.

Ker pregrehe svoje jaz spoznavam, in greh moj biva mi vedno pred očmi.

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.

Tebi, tebi samemu sem grešil, in storil kar se zlo vidi v tvojih očeh; da se opravičiš v govorih svojih; čist si, kader ti sodiš.

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

Glej, v krivici sem storjen in v grehu me je spočela mati moja.

6 Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

Glej, resnice se raduješ v osrčji; in skrivaj si mi razodél modrost svojo.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Očisti me z isopom, da bodem čist; operi me, da bodem bel nad sneg.

8 Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Stóri, da čujem veselje in radost, radujejo se kosti, katere si potrl.

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

Skrij srdito obličje svoje grehom mojim, in vse krivice moje izbriši.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Srce mi čisto ustvari, Bog, in duh krepak ponovi v meni.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.

Ne zavrzi me izpred svojega obličja; in svojega svetega duha ne jemlji od mene nazaj.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.

Daj mi nazaj veselje blaginje svoje; in z duhom blagodušnosti podpiraj me.

13 I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.

Učil bodem krivičnike pota tvoja, da se grešniki povrnejo k tebi.

14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

Reši me krvi, o Bog, Bog blaginje moje; jezik moj naj poje pravico tvojo.

15 Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise.

Gospod, odpri moje ustne, in usta moja bodejo oznanjala hvalo tvojo.

16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

Ker ne veseliš se daritve; nočeš, da dajem žgalni dar.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Daritve Božje so duh potrt; srca potrtega in pobitega, o Bog, ne zametaš.

18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem.

Oblagodari po dobri volji Sijon; sezidaj zidovje Jeruzalemsko.

19 Then shalt thou have sacrifices of righteousness, burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering; then shall they offer up bullocks upon thine altar.

Tedaj se bodeš veselil daritev pravice, žgalnih in celih daritev; tedaj bodo pobožni pokladali junce na tvoj oltar.
