Psalmi 51

1 Usmili se me, oh Bog, glede na svojo ljubečo skrbnost, glede na množino svojih nežnih usmiljenj izbriši moje prestopke.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after his adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving devotion; according to Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions.

2 Temeljito me operi moje krivičnosti in me očisti mojega greha.

Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

3 Kajti priznavam svoje prestopke in moj greh je vedno pred menoj.

For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

4 Zoper tebe, tebe samega, sem grešil in storil to zlo v tvojem pogledu, da bi bil ti lahko opravičen, kadar spregovoriš in bil čist, kadar sodiš.

Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.

5 Glej, oblikovan sem bil v krivičnosti in v grehu me je spočela moja mati.

Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

6 Glej, želiš resnico v notranjih delih in na skritem delu mi boš storil, da spoznam modrost.

Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

7 Očisti me z izopom in bom čist. Umij me in bom bolj bel kakor sneg.

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

8 Daj mi slišati radost in veselje, da se kosti, ki si jih zlomil, lahko veselijo.

Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.

9 Svoj obraz skrij pred mojimi grehi in izbriši vse moje krivičnosti.

Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.

10 Ustvari v meni čisto srce, oh Bog, in prenovi pravega duha v meni.

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

11 Ne zavrzi me izpred svoje prisotnosti in svojega svetega duha ne vzemi od mene.

Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Obnovi mi radost svoje rešitve duše in s svojim voljnim duhom me podpiraj.

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.

13 Potem bom prestopnike učil tvojih poti in grešniki bodo spreobrnjeni k tebi.

Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.

14 Osvobodi me pred krivdo prelitja krvi, oh Bog, ti Bog rešitve moje duše in moj jezik bo na glas prepeval o tvoji pravičnosti.

Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness.

15 Oh Gospod, odpri moje ustnice in moja usta bodo naznanila tvojo hvalo.

O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.

16 Kajti ne želiš si klavne daritve, sicer bi ti jo dal. Ne razveseljuješ se v žgalni daritvi.

For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.

17 Božje klavne daritve so zlomljen duh. Zlomljenega in skesanega srca, oh Bog, ne boš preziral.

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

18 Po svoji dobri volji stôri dobro Sionu, pozidaj jeruzalemske zidove.

In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Potem boš zadovoljen s klavnimi daritvami pravičnosti, z žgalno daritvijo in popolno žgalno daritvijo. Potem bodo na tvojem oltarju darovali bikce.

Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.
