Psalmi 51
1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Kad je k Davidu došao prorok Natan poslije njegova grijeha Smiluj mi se, Bože, po milosrđu svome, po velikom smilovanju izbriši moje bezakonje!
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving kindness: according to the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Operi me svega od moje krivice, od grijeha me mojeg očisti!
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Bezakonje svoje priznajem, grijeh je moj svagda preda mnom.
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 Tebi, samom tebi ja sam zgriješio i učinio što je zlo pred tobom: pravedan ćeš biti kad progovoriš, bez prijekora kada presudiš.
Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight: that you might be justified when you speak, and be clear when you judge.
5 Evo, grešan sam već rođen, u grijehu me zače majka moja.
Behold, I was shaped in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Evo, ti ljubiš srce iskreno, u dubini duše učiš me mudrosti.
Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom.
7 Poškropi me izopom da se očistim, operi me, i bit ću bjelji od snijega!
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Objavi mi radost i veselje, nek' se obraduju kosti satrvene!
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
9 Odvrati lice od grijeha mojih, izbriši svu moju krivicu!
Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Čisto srce stvori mi, Bože, i duh postojan obnovi u meni!
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Ne odbaci me od lica svojega i svoga svetog duha ne uzmi od mene!
Cast me not away from your presence; and take not your holy spirit from me.
12 Vrati mi radost svoga spasenja i učvrsti me duhom spremnim!
Restore to me the joy of your salvation; and uphold me with your free spirit.
13 Učit ću bezakonike tvojim stazama, i grešnici tebi će se obraćati.
Then will I teach transgressors your ways; and sinners shall be converted to you.
14 Oslobodi me od krvi prolivene, Bože, Bože spasitelju moj! Nek' mi jezik kliče pravednosti tvojoj!
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, you God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
15 Otvori, Gospodine, usne moje, i usta će moja naviještati hvalu tvoju.
O Lord, open you my lips; and my mouth shall show forth your praise.
16 Žrtve ti se ne mile, kad bih dao paljenicu, ti je ne bi primio.
For you desire not sacrifice; else would I give it: you delight not in burnt offering.
17 Žrtva Bogu duh je raskajan, srce raskajano, ponizno, Bože, nećeš prezreti.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
18 U svojoj dobroti milostiv budi Sionu i opet sagradi jeruzalemske zidine!
Do good in your good pleasure to Zion: build you the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Tada će ti biti mile žrtve pravedne i tad će se prinosit' teoci na žrtveniku tvojemu.
Then shall you be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks on your altar.
