< Psalms 51 >

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him after he had slept with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, God, because of your covenant faithfulness; for the sake of the multitude of your merciful actions, blot out my transgressions.
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.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
(Increase *Q(K)*) wash me from iniquity my and from sin my cleanse me.
3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
For transgressions my I I know and sin my [is] before me continually.
4 Against you, you only, I have sinned and done what is evil in your sight; you are right when you speak; you are correct when you judge.
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.
5 See, I was born in iniquity; as soon as my mother conceived me, I was in sin.
Here! in iniquity I was brought forth and in sin she conceived me mother my.
6 See, you desire trustworthiness in my inner self; and you teach me wisdom in the secret place within.
Here! faithfulness you desire in the covered places and in a [place] kept secret wisdom you cause to know me.
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
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.
8 Make me hear joy and gladness so that the bones that you have broken may rejoice.
You will make hear me joy and gladness let them rejoice [the] bones [which] you have crushed.
9 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.
Hide face your from sins my and all iniquities my wipe out.
10 Create in me a clean heart, God, and renew a right spirit within me.
A heart pure create for me O God and a spirit steadfast renew in inner being my.
11 Do not drive me away from your presence, and do not take your holy Spirit from me.
May not you cast me from to before you and [the] spirit of holiness your may not you take from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.
Restore! to me [the] joy of salvation your and a spirit willing you will sustain me.
13 Then will I teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will be converted to you.
I will teach transgressors ways your and sinners to you they will return.
14 Forgive me for shedding blood, God of my salvation, and I will shout for the joy of your righteousness.
Deliver me from blood - O God [the] God of salvation my it will shout for joy tongue my righteousness your.
15 Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will express your praise.
O Lord lips my you will open and mouth my it will declare praise your.
16 For you do not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you have no pleasure in burnt offerings.
For - not you desire sacrifice and I will give [it] burnt offering not you are pleased with.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. You, God, will not despise a broken and a contrite heart.
[the] sacrifices of God [are] a spirit broken a heart broken and crushed O God not you despise.
18 Do good in your good pleasure to Zion; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
Do good to! in favor your Zion you will build [the] walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then will you delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then our people will offer bulls on your altar.
Then you will delight in sacrifices of righteousness burnt offering and whole offering then people will offer up on altar your young bulls.
