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 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！

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

2 求你将我的罪孽洗除净尽， 并洁除我的罪！

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

3 因为，我知道我的过犯； 我的罪常在我面前。

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。

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

5 我是在罪孽里生的， 在我母亲怀胎的时候就有了罪。

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

6 你所喜爱的是内里诚实； 你在我隐密处，必使我得智慧。

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，我就干净； 求你洗涤我，我就比雪更白。

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

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。

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

9 求你掩面不看我的罪， 涂抹我一切的罪孽。

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

10 神啊，求你为我造清洁的心， 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，使我离开你的面； 不要从我收回你的圣灵。

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

12 求你使我仍得救恩之乐， 赐我乐意的灵扶持我，

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

13 我就把你的道指教有过犯的人， 罪人必归顺你。

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

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。

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

15 主啊，求你使我嘴唇张开， 我的口便传扬赞美你的话！

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

16 你本不喜爱祭物，若喜爱，我就献上； 燔祭，你也不喜悦。

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

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。

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

18 求你随你的美意善待锡安， 建造耶路撒冷的城墙。

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。
