Psalms 51
1 To the choirmaster a psalm of David. When came to him Nathan the prophet just when he had gone into Bath-sheba. Show favor to me O God according to covenant loyalty your according to [the] greatness of compassion your wipe out transgressions my.
To victorie, the salm of Dauid; `whanne Nathan the prophete cam to hym, whanne he entride to Bersabee. God, haue thou merci on me; bi thi greet merci. And bi the mychilnesse of thi merciful doyngis; do thou awei my wickidnesse.
2 (Increase *Q(K)*) wash me from iniquity my and from sin my cleanse me.
More waische thou me fro my wickidnesse; and clense thou me fro my synne.
3 For transgressions my I I know and sin my [is] before me continually.
For Y knouleche my wickidnesse; and my synne is euere ayens me.
4 To you to alone you - I have sinned and the evil in view your I have done so that you may be just when speaking you you will be pure when judging you.
I haue synned to thee aloone, and Y haue do yuel bifor thee; that thou be iustified in thi wordis, and ouercome whanne thou art demed. For lo!
5 Here! in iniquity I was brought forth and in sin she conceived me mother my.
Y was conseyued in wickednessis; and my modir conceyuede me in synnes.
6 Here! faithfulness you desire in the covered places and in a [place] kept secret wisdom you cause to know me.
For lo! thou louedist treuthe; thou hast schewid to me the vncerteyn thingis, and pryuy thingis of thi wisdom.
7 You will cleanse from sin me with hyssop so I may be pure you will wash me and more than snow I will become white.
Lord, sprenge thou me with ysope, and Y schal be clensid; waische thou me, and Y schal be maad whijt more than snow.
8 You will make hear me joy and gladness let them rejoice [the] bones [which] you have crushed.
Yyue thou ioie, and gladnesse to myn heryng; and boonys maad meke schulen ful out make ioye.
9 Hide face your from sins my and all iniquities my wipe out.
Turne awei thi face fro my synnes; and do awei alle my wickidnesses.
10 A heart pure create for me O God and a spirit steadfast renew in inner being my.
God, make thou a clene herte in me; and make thou newe a riytful spirit in my entrailis.
11 May not you cast me from to before you and [the] spirit of holiness your may not you take from me.
Caste thou me not awei fro thi face; and take thou not awei fro me thin hooli spirit.
12 Restore! to me [the] joy of salvation your and a spirit willing you will sustain me.
Yiue thou to me the gladnesse of thyn helthe; and conferme thou me with the principal spirit.
13 I will teach transgressors ways your and sinners to you they will return.
I schal teche wickid men thi weies; and vnfeithful men schulen be conuertid to thee.
14 Deliver me from blood - O God [the] God of salvation my it will shout for joy tongue my righteousness your.
God, the God of myn helthe, delyuere thou me fro bloodis; and my tunge schal ioyfuli synge thi riytfulnesse.
15 O Lord lips my you will open and mouth my it will declare praise your.
Lord, `opene thou my lippis; and my mouth schal telle thi preysyng.
16 For - not you desire sacrifice and I will give [it] burnt offering not you are pleased with.
For if thou haddist wold sacrifice, Y hadde youe; treuli thou schalt not delite in brent sacrifices.
17 [the] sacrifices of God [are] a spirit broken a heart broken and crushed O God not you despise.
A sacrifice to God is a spirit troblid; God, thou schalt not dispise a contrit herte and `maad meke.
18 Do good to! in favor your Zion you will build [the] walls of Jerusalem.
Lord, do thou benygneli in thi good wille to Syon; that the wallis of Jerusalem be bildid.
19 Then you will delight in sacrifices of righteousness burnt offering and whole offering then people will offer up on altar your young bulls.
Thanne thou schalt take plesauntli the sacrifice of riytfulnesse, offryngis, and brent sacrifices; thanne thei schulen putte calues on thin auter.
