诗篇 第 51 篇

1大卫与拔示巴同室以后，先知拿单来见他；他作这诗，交与伶长。 神啊，求你按你的慈爱怜恤我！ 按你丰盛的慈悲涂抹我的过犯！

1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2求你将我的罪孽洗除净尽， 并洁除我的罪！

2Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3因为，我知道我的过犯； 我的罪常在我面前。

3For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4我向你犯罪，惟独得罪了你； 在你眼前行了这恶， 以致你责备我的时候显为公义， 判断我的时候显为清正。

4Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

5我是在罪孽里生的， 在我母亲怀胎的时候就有了罪。

5Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6你所喜爱的是内里诚实； 你在我隐密处，必使我得智慧。

6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7求你用牛膝草洁净我，我就干净； 求你洗涤我，我就比雪更白。

7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8求你使我得听欢喜快乐的声音， 使你所压伤的骨头可以踊跃。

8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9求你掩面不看我的罪， 涂抹我一切的罪孽。

9Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10神啊，求你为我造清洁的心， 使我里面重新有正直的灵。

10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11不要丢弃我，使我离开你的面； 不要从我收回你的圣灵。

11Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12求你使我仍得救恩之乐， 赐我乐意的灵扶持我，

12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13我就把你的道指教有过犯的人， 罪人必归顺你。

13Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14神啊，你是拯救我的神； 求你救我脱离流人血的罪！ 我的舌头就高声歌唱你的公义。

14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

15主啊，求你使我嘴唇张开， 我的口便传扬赞美你的话！

15O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

16你本不喜爱祭物，若喜爱，我就献上； 燔祭，你也不喜悦。

16For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

17神所要的祭就是忧伤的灵； 神啊，忧伤痛悔的心，你必不轻看。

17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

18求你随你的美意善待锡安， 建造耶路撒冷的城墙。

18Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19那时，你必喜爱公义的祭 和燔祭并全牲的燔祭； 那时，人必将公牛献在你坛上。

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