Psalms 51

1 To 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.

١ لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ نَاثَانُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ بَعْدَ مَا دَخَلَ إِلَى بَثْشَبَعَ اِرْحَمْنِي يَا ٱللهُ حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ. حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ رَأْفَتِكَ ٱمْحُ مَعَاصِيَّ.

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

٢ ٱغْسِلْنِي كَثِيرًا مِنْ إِثْمِي، وَمِنْ خَطِيَّتِي طَهِّرْنِي.

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

٣ لِأَنِّي عَارِفٌ بِمَعَاصِيَّ، وَخَطِيَّتِي أَمَامِي دَائِمًا.

4 Against 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.

٤ إِلَيْكَ وَحْدَكَ أَخْطَأْتُ، وَٱلشَّرَّ قُدَّامَ عَيْنَيْكَ صَنَعْتُ، لِكَيْ تَتَبَرَّرَ فِي أَقْوَالِكَ، وَتَزْكُوَ فِي قَضَائِكَ.

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

٥ هَأَنَذَا بِٱلْإِثْمِ صُوِّرْتُ، وَبِٱلْخَطِيَّةِ حَبِلَتْ بِي أُمِّي.

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

٦ هَا قَدْ سُرِرْتَ بِٱلْحَقِّ فِي ٱلْبَاطِنِ، فَفِي ٱلسَّرِيرَةِ تُعَرِّفُنِي حِكْمَةً.

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

٧ طَهِّرْنِي بِٱلزُّوفَا فَأَطْهُرَ. ٱغْسِلْنِي فَأَبْيَضَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلثَّلْجِ.

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

٨ أَسْمِعْنِي سُرُورًا وَفَرَحًا، فَتَبْتَهِجَ عِظَامٌ سَحَقْتَهَا.

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

٩ ٱسْتُرْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ خَطَايَايَ، وَٱمْحُ كُلَّ آثَامِي.

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

١٠ قَلْبًا نَقِيًّا ٱخْلُقْ فِيَّ يَا ٱللهُ، وَرُوحًا مُسْتَقِيمًا جَدِّدْ فِي دَاخِلِي.

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

١١ لَا تَطْرَحْنِي مِنْ قُدَّامِ وَجْهِكَ، وَرُوحَكَ ٱلْقُدُّوسَ لَا تَنْزِعْهُ مِنِّي.

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

١٢ رُدَّ لِي بَهْجَةَ خَلَاصِكَ، وَبِرُوحٍ مُنْتَدِبَةٍ ٱعْضُدْنِي.

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

١٣ فَأُعَلِّمَ ٱلْأَثَمَةَ طُرُقَكَ، وَٱلْخُطَاةُ إِلَيْكَ يَرْجِعُونَ.

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

١٤ نَجِّنِي مِنَ ٱلدِّمَاءِ يَا ٱللهُ، إِلَهَ خَلَاصِي، فَيُسَبِّحَ لِسَانِي بِرَّكَ.

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

١٥ يَارَبُّ ٱفْتَحْ شَفَتَيَّ، فَيُخْبِرَ فَمِي بِتَسْبِيحِكَ.

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

١٦ لِأَنَّكَ لَا تُسَرُّ بِذَبِيحَةٍ وَإِلَّا فَكُنْتُ أُقَدِّمُهَا. بِمُحْرَقَةٍ لَا تَرْضَى.

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

١٧ ذَبَائِحُ ٱللهِ هِيَ رُوحٌ مُنْكَسِرَةٌ. ٱلْقَلْبُ ٱلْمُنْكَسِرُ وَٱلْمُنْسَحِقُ يَا ٱللهُ لَا تَحْتَقِرُهُ.

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

١٨ أَحْسِنْ بِرِضَاكَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ. ٱبْنِ أَسْوَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

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

١٩ حِينَئِذٍ تُسَرُّ بِذَبَائِحِ ٱلْبِرِّ، مُحْرَقَةٍ وَتَقْدِمَةٍ تَامَّةٍ. حِينَئِذٍ يُصْعِدُونَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِكَ عُجُولًا.
