Psalms 51

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID, IN THE COMING OF NATHAN THE PROPHET TO HIM WHEN HE HAS GONE IN TO BATHSHEBA. Favor me, O God, according to Your kindness, According to the abundance of Your 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 Thoroughly wash me from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin,

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

3 For I know my transgressions, And my sin [is] continually before me.

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

4 Against You, You only, I have sinned, And done evil in Your eyes, So that You are righteous in Your words, You are pure in Your judging.

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, I have been brought forth in iniquity, And my mother conceives me in sin.

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

6 Behold, You have desired truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You cause me to know Wisdom.

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

7 You cleanse me with hyssop and I am clean, Wash me, and I am whiter than snow.

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

8 You cause me to hear joy and gladness, You make bones You have bruised joyful.

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

9 Hide Your face from my sin. And blot out all my iniquities.

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

10 Create for me a clean heart, O God, And renew a right spirit within me.

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

11 Do not cast me forth from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

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

12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And a willing spirit sustains me.

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

13 I teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners return to You.

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

14 Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My tongue sings of Your righteousness.

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

15 O Lord, you open my lips, And my mouth declares Your praise.

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

16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or I give [it], You do not accept burnt-offering.

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

17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, You do not despise.

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

18 Do good in Your good pleasure with Zion, You build the walls of Jerusalem.

Oblagodari po dobri volji Sijon; sezidaj zidovje Jeruzalemsko.

19 Then You desire sacrifices of righteousness, Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer bullocks on your altar!

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