Berean Standard Bible tier 2Smith–Van Dyck tier 2
BSB

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.

SVD

1 اِرْحَمْنِي يَا ٱللهُ حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ. حَسَبَ كَثْرَةِ رَأْفَتِكَ ٱمْحُ مَعَاصِيَّ.

BSB

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

SVD

2 ٱغْسِلْنِي كَثِيرًا مِنْ إِثْمِي، وَمِنْ خَطِيَّتِي طَهِّرْنِي.

BSB

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

SVD

3 لِأَنِّي عَارِفٌ بِمَعَاصِيَّ، وَخَطِيَّتِي أَمَامِي دَائِمًا.

BSB

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.

SVD

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

BSB

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

SVD

5 هَأَنَذَا بِٱلْإِثْمِ صُوِّرْتُ، وَبِٱلْخَطِيَّةِ حَبِلَتْ بِي أُمِّي.

BSB

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

SVD

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

BSB

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

SVD

7 طَهِّرْنِي بِٱلزُّوفَا فَأَطْهُرَ. ٱغْسِلْنِي فَأَبْيَضَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلثَّلْجِ.

BSB

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

SVD

8 أَسْمِعْنِي سُرُورًا وَفَرَحًا، فَتَبْتَهِجَ عِظَامٌ سَحَقْتَهَا.

BSB

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

SVD

9 ٱسْتُرْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ خَطَايَايَ، وَٱمْحُ كُلَّ آثَامِي.

BSB

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

SVD

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

BSB

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

SVD

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

BSB

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

SVD

12 رُدَّ لِي بَهْجَةَ خَلَاصِكَ، وَبِرُوحٍ مُنْتَدِبَةٍ ٱعْضُدْنِي.

BSB

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

SVD

13 فَأُعَلِّمَ ٱلْأَثَمَةَ طُرُقَكَ، وَٱلْخُطَاةُ إِلَيْكَ يَرْجِعُونَ.

BSB

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

SVD

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

BSB

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

SVD

15 يَارَبُّ ٱفْتَحْ شَفَتَيَّ، فَيُخْبِرَ فَمِي بِتَسْبِيحِكَ.

BSB

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

SVD

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

BSB

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

SVD

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

BSB

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

SVD

18 أَحْسِنْ بِرِضَاكَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ. ٱبْنِ أَسْوَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

BSB

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

SVD

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