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. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving-kindness: according to the multitude 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 thoroughly from my 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] ever 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 [this] evil in thy sight: that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, [and] 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, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

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

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden [part] thou shalt 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 joy and gladness; [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 my iniquities.

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

10 Create in 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 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy 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 thy salvation; and uphold me [with thy] free spirit.

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

13 [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted to 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: [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

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

15 O LORD, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth 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 delightest not 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 to Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

Oblagodari po dobri volji Sijon; sezidaj zidovje Jeruzalemsko.

19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thy altar.

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