Psalmi 51

1 Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov, Ko je prišel k njemu Natan prerok, potem ko se je bil sešèl z Betsebo. Milosten mi bodi, o Bog, po dobroti svoji; po obilosti svojega usmiljenja izbriši pregrehe moje.

For the chief musician. A psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him after he had slept with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, God, because of your covenant faithfulness; for the sake of the multitude of your merciful actions, blot out my transgressions.

2 Dobro me operi krivice moje, in greha mojega očisti me.

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

3 Ker pregrehe svoje jaz spoznavam, in greh moj biva mi vedno pred očmi.

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

4 Tebi, tebi samemu sem grešil, in storil kar se zlo vidi v tvojih očeh; da se opravičiš v govorih svojih; čist si, kader ti sodiš.

Against you, you only, I have sinned and done what is evil in your sight; you are right when you speak; you are correct when you judge.

5 Glej, v krivici sem storjen in v grehu me je spočela mati moja.

See, I was born in iniquity; as soon as my mother conceived me, I was in sin.

6 Glej, resnice se raduješ v osrčji; in skrivaj si mi razodél modrost svojo.

See, you desire trustworthiness in my inner self; and you teach me wisdom in the secret place within.

7 Očisti me z isopom, da bodem čist; operi me, da bodem bel nad sneg.

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

8 Stóri, da čujem veselje in radost, radujejo se kosti, katere si potrl.

Make me hear joy and gladness so that the bones that you have broken may rejoice.

9 Skrij srdito obličje svoje grehom mojim, in vse krivice moje izbriši.

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

10 Srce mi čisto ustvari, Bog, in duh krepak ponovi v meni.

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

11 Ne zavrzi me izpred svojega obličja; in svojega svetega duha ne jemlji od mene nazaj.

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

12 Daj mi nazaj veselje blaginje svoje; in z duhom blagodušnosti podpiraj me.

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

13 Učil bodem krivičnike pota tvoja, da se grešniki povrnejo k tebi.

Then will I teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will be converted to you.

14 Reši me krvi, o Bog, Bog blaginje moje; jezik moj naj poje pravico tvojo.

Forgive me for shedding blood, God of my salvation, and I will shout for the joy of your righteousness.

15 Gospod, odpri moje ustne, in usta moja bodejo oznanjala hvalo tvojo.

Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will express your praise.

16 Ker ne veseliš se daritve; nočeš, da dajem žgalni dar.

For you do not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you have no pleasure in burnt offerings.

17 Daritve Božje so duh potrt; srca potrtega in pobitega, o Bog, ne zametaš.

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

18 Oblagodari po dobri volji Sijon; sezidaj zidovje Jeruzalemsko.

Do good in your good pleasure to Zion; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Tedaj se bodeš veselil daritev pravice, žgalnih in celih daritev; tedaj bodo pobožni pokladali junce na tvoj oltar.

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