תהילים 51

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.] Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

2 הרבה הֶרֶב כַּבְּסֵנִי מֵעֲוֺנִי וּֽמֵחַטָּאתִי טַהֲרֵֽנִי׃

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.

3 כִּֽי־פְשָׁעַי אֲנִי אֵדָע וְחַטָּאתִי נֶגְדִּי תָמִֽיד׃

For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.

4 לְךָ לְבַדְּךָ ׀ חָטָאתִי וְהָרַע בְּעֵינֶיךָ עָשִׂיתִי לְמַעַן תִּצְדַּק בְּדָבְרֶךָ תִּזְכֶּה בְשָׁפְטֶֽךָ׃

Against you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.

5 הֵן־בְּעָווֹן חוֹלָלְתִּי וּבְחֵטְא יֶֽחֱמַתְנִי אִמִּֽי׃

Look, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me.

6 הֵן־אֱמֶת חָפַצְתָּ בַטֻּחוֹת וּבְסָתֻם חָכְמָה תוֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃

Look, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

7 תְּחַטְּאֵנִי בְאֵזוֹב וְאֶטְהָר תְּכַבְּסֵנִי וּמִשֶּׁלֶג אַלְבִּֽין׃

Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 תַּשְׁמִיעֵנִי שָׂשׂוֹן וְשִׂמְחָה תָּגֵלְנָה עֲצָמוֹת דִּכִּֽיתָ׃

Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.

9 הַסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ מֵחֲטָאָי וְֽכָל־עֲוֺנֹתַי מְחֵֽה׃

Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.

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

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

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

Do not throw me from your presence, and do not take your holy Spirit from me.

12 הָשִׁיבָה לִּי שְׂשׂוֹן יִשְׁעֶךָ וְרוּחַ נְדִיבָה תִסְמְכֵֽנִי׃

Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

13 אֲלַמְּדָה פֹשְׁעִים דְּרָכֶיךָ וְחַטָּאִים אֵלֶיךָ יָשֽׁוּבוּ׃

Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners shall be converted to you.

14 הַצִּילֵנִי מִדָּמִים ׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי תְשׁוּעָתִי תְּרַנֵּן לְשׁוֹנִי צִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

15 אֲדֹנָי שְׂפָתַי תִּפְתָּח וּפִי יַגִּיד תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃

Lord, open my lips. My mouth shall declare your praise.

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

For you do not delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.

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

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

18 הֵיטִיבָה בִרְצוֹנְךָ אֶת־צִיּוֹן תִּבְנֶה חוֹמוֹת יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃

Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.

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

Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
