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 ارْحَمْنِي يَا اللهُ حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَامْحُ مَعَاصِيَّ حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ رَأْفَتِكَ.

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

2 اغْسِلْنِي كُلِّيًّا مِنْ إِثْمِي، وَطَهِّرْنِي مِنْ خَطِيئَتِي.

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

3 فَإِنَّنِي أُقِرُّ بِمَعَاصِيَّ، وَخَطِيئَتِي مَاثِلَةٌ أَمَامِي دَائِماً.

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 إِلَيْكَ وَحْدَكَ أَخْطَأْتُ، وَالشَّرَّ قُدَّامَ عَيْنَيْكَ صَنَعْتُ. لِكَي تَتَبَرَّرَ إِذَا حَكَمْتَ وَتَزْكُوَ إِذَا قَضَيْتَ.

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

5 هَا إِنِّي بِالإِثْمِ قَدْ وُلِدْتُ وَفِي الْخَطِيئَةِ حَبِلَتْ بِي أُمِّي.

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

6 هَا أَنْتَ تَرْغَبُ أَنْ تَرَى الْحَقَّ فِي دَخِيلَةِ الإِنْسَانِ، فَتُعَرِّفُنِي الْحِكْمَةَ فِي قَرَارَةِ نَفْسِي.

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

7 طَهِّرْنِي بِالزُّوفَا فَأَتَنَقَّى. اغْسِلْنِي فَأَبْيَضَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الثَّلْجِ.

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

8 أَسْمِعْنِي صَوْتَ السُّرُورِ وَالْفَرَحِ، فَتَبْتَهِجَ عِظَامِي الَّتِي سَحَقْتَهَا.

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

9 احْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ خَطَايَايَ وَامْحُ كُلَّ آثَامِي.

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

10 قَلْباً نَقِيًّا اخْلُقْ فِيَّ يَا اللهُ وَرُوحاً مُسْتَقِيماً جَدِّدْ فِي دَاخِلِي.

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

11 لَا تَطْرُدْنِي مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ، وَلَا تَنْزِعْ مِنِّي رُوحَكَ القُدُّوسَ.

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

12 رُدَّ لِي بَهْجَتِي بِخَلاصِكَ، وَبِرُوحٍ رَضِيَّةٍ آزِرْنِي

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

13 عِنْدَئِذٍ أُعَلِّمُ الأَثَمَةَ طُرُقَكَ، فَيَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ الْخَاطِئُونَ.

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

14 أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ سَفْكِ الدِّمَاءِ يَا اللهُ، يَا إِلَهَ خَلاصِي، فَيُرَنِّمَ لِسَانِي بِبِرِّكَ.

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

15 يَا رَبُّ افْتَحْ شَفَتَيَّ فَيُذِيعَ فَمِي تَسْبِيحَكَ.

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

16 فَإِنَّكَ لَا تُسَرُّ بِذَبِيحَةٍ، وَإلَّا كُنْتُ أُقَدِّمُهَا. بِمُحْرَقَةٍ لَا تَرْضَى.

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

17 إِنَّ الذَّبَائِحَ الَّتِي يَطْلُبُهَا اللهُ هِيَ رُوحٌ مُنْكَسِرَةٌ. فَلَا تَحْتَقِرَنَّ الْقَلْبَ الْمُنْكَسِرَ وَالْمُنْسَحِقَ يَا اللهُ.

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

18 أَحْسِنْ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ بِمُقْتَضَى مَسَرَّتِكَ. وَابْنِ أَسْوَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

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

19 عِنْدَئِذٍ تَرْضَى بِذَبَائِحِ الْبِرِّ، وَمُحْرَقَةٍ وَتَقْدِمَةٍ تَامَّةٍ. حِينَئِذٍ يُقَرِّبُونَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِكَ عُجُولاً.
