Psalms 51

1 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.

1 上帝啊，求你按你的慈爱怜悯我； 按你极大的怜悯除去我的过犯。

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

2 求你洗净我的罪过， 清除我的罪恶。

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

3 我知道自己的过犯， 我的罪恶一直萦绕眼前。

4 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.

4 我犯罪得罪了你， 唯独得罪了你， 做了你看为邪恶的事， 所以你责备我是正当的， 你对我的审判是公正的。

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

5 我生来就是个罪人， 在母腹成胎的时候就有罪。

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

6 你所喜爱的是内心的诚实， 求你使我内心有智慧。

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

7 求你用牛膝草洁净我的罪， 使我干净； 求你洗净我，使我比雪更白。

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

8 求你让我听到欢喜快乐的声音， 让我这被你压碎的骨头可以欢乐。

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

9 求你掩面不看我的罪过， 除去我一切的罪恶。

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

10 上帝啊， 求你为我造一颗纯洁的心， 使我里面重新有正直的灵。

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

11 不要丢弃我， 使我离开你， 也不要从我身上收回你的圣灵。

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

12 求你让我重新享受蒙你拯救的喜乐， 赐我一个乐意顺服你的心灵。

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

13 我就会把你的法则教导悖逆之人， 使罪人归向你。

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

14 上帝啊，拯救我的上帝啊， 求你救我脱离杀人流血的罪， 使我开口颂扬你的公义。

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

15 主啊，求你开我的嘴唇， 我的口要向你发出赞美。

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

16 你不喜欢祭物， 否则我会献上， 你也不喜爱燔祭。

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

17 你所要的祭是忧伤的心灵。 上帝啊，你必不轻看忧伤痛悔的心。

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

18 求你恩待锡安，重建耶路撒冷的城墙。

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

19 那时，你必悦纳诚心献上的祭物、燔祭和全牲燔祭， 人们必把公牛献在你的坛上。
