תהילים 51

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ בְּֽבוֹא־אֵלָיו נָתָן הַנָּבִיא כַּאֲשֶׁר־בָּא אֶל־בַּת־שָֽׁבַע׃ חׇנֵּנִי אֱלֹהִים כְּחַסְדֶּךָ כְּרֹב רַחֲמֶיךָ מְחֵה פְשָׁעָֽי׃

For the end, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your great mercy; and according to the multitude of your compassions blot out my transgression.

2 (הרבה) [הֶרֶב] כַּבְּסֵנִי מֵעֲוֺנִי וּֽמֵחַטָּאתִי טַהֲרֵֽנִי׃

Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 כִּֽי־פְשָׁעַי אֲנִי אֵדָע וְחַטָּאתִי נֶגְדִּי תָמִֽיד׃

For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.

4 לְךָ לְבַדְּךָ ׀ חָטָאתִי וְהָרַע בְּעֵינֶיךָ עָשִׂיתִי לְמַעַן תִּצְדַּק בְּדׇבְרֶךָ תִּזְכֶּה בְשׇׁפְטֶֽךָ׃

Against you only have I sinned, and done evil before you: that you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.

5 הֵן־בְּעָווֹן חוֹלָלְתִּי וּבְחֵטְא יֶחֱמַתְנִי אִמִּֽי׃

For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.

6 הֵן־אֱמֶת חָפַצְתָּ בַטֻּחוֹת וּבְסָתֻם חׇכְמָה תוֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃

For, behold, you love truth: you have manifested to me the secret and hidden things of your wisdom.

7 תְּחַטְּאֵנִי בְאֵזוֹב וְאֶטְהָר תְּכַבְּסֵנִי וּמִשֶּׁלֶג אַלְבִּֽין׃

You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: you shall wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

8 תַּשְׁמִיעֵנִי שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה תָּגֵלְנָה עֲצָמוֹת דִּכִּֽיתָ׃

You shall cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.

9 הַסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ מֵחֲטָאָי וְֽכׇל־עֲוֺנֹתַי מְחֵֽה׃

Turn away your face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 לֵב טָהוֹר בְּרָא־לִי אֱלֹהִים וְרוּחַ נָכוֹן חַדֵּשׁ בְּקִרְבִּֽי׃

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.

11 אַל־תַּשְׁלִיכֵנִי מִלְּפָנֶיךָ וְרוּחַ קׇדְשְׁךָ אַל־תִּקַּח מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

Cast me not away from your presence; and remove not your holy Spirit from me.

12 הָשִׁיבָה לִּי שְׂשׂוֹן יִשְׁעֶךָ וְרוּחַ נְדִיבָה תִסְמְכֵֽנִי׃

Restore to me the joy of your salvation: establish me with your directing Spirit.

13 אֲלַמְּדָה פֹשְׁעִים דְּרָכֶיךָ וְחַטָּאִים אֵלֶיךָ יָשֽׁוּבוּ׃

[Then] will I teach transgressors your ways; and ungodly men shall turn to you.

14 הַצִּילֵנִי מִדָּמִים ׀ אֱֽלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי תְשׁוּעָתִי תְּרַנֵּן לְשׁוֹנִי צִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare your righteousness.

15 אֲדֹנָי שְׂפָתַי תִּפְתָּח וּפִי יַגִּיד תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃

O Lord, you shall open my lips; and my mouth shall declare your praise.

16 כִּי ׀ לֹא־תַחְפֹּץ זֶבַח וְאֶתֵּנָה עוֹלָה לֹא תִרְצֶֽה׃

For if you desired sacrifice, I would have given [it]: you will not take pleasure in whole burnt offerings.

17 זִבְחֵי אֱלֹהִים רוּחַ נִשְׁבָּרָה לֵב־נִשְׁבָּר וְנִדְכֶּה אֱלֹהִים לֹא תִבְזֶֽה׃

Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.

18 הֵיטִיבָה בִרְצוֹנְךָ אֶת־צִיּוֹן תִּבְנֶה חוֹמוֹת יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃

Do good, O Lord, to Sion in your good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.

19 אָז תַּחְפֹּץ זִבְחֵי־צֶדֶק עוֹלָה וְכָלִיל אָז יַעֲלוּ עַל־מִזְבַּחֲךָ פָרִֽים׃

Then shall you be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole burnt sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon your altar.
