Ps 51

FFor 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. (MT 51:1-Ps:51:2; MT 51:3; LXX 50:1-Ps:50:2; LXX 50:3; Rahlfs 50:1-Ps:50:2; Rahlfs 50:3) לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ 2Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. (MT 51:4; LXX 50:4; Rahlfs 50:4) בְּֽבוֹא־אֵ֭לָיו נָתָ֣ן הַנָּבִ֑יא כַּֽאֲשֶׁר־בָּ֝֗א אֶל־בַּת־שָֽׁבַע׃ 3For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. (MT 51:5; LXX 50:5; Rahlfs 50:5) חָנֵּ֣נִי אֱלֹהִ֣ים כְּחַסְדֶּ֑ךָ כְּרֹ֥ב רַ֝חֲמֶ֗יךָ מְחֵ֣ה פְשָׁעָֽי׃ 4Against 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. (MT 51:6; LXX 50:6; Rahlfs 50:6) הרבה כַּבְּסֵ֣נִי מֵעֲוֺנִ֑י וּֽמֵחַטָּאתִ֥י טַהֲרֵֽנִי׃ 5Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me. (MT 51:7; LXX 50:7; Rahlfs 50:7) כִּֽי־פְ֭שָׁעַי אֲנִ֣י אֵדָ֑ע וְחַטָּאתִ֖י נֶגְדִּ֣י תָמִֽיד׃ 6Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place. (MT 51:8; LXX 50:8; Rahlfs 50:8) לְךָ֤ לְבַדְּךָ֨ ׀ חָטָאתִי֮ וְהָרַ֥ע בְּעֵינֶ֗יךָ עָ֫שִׂ֥יתִי לְ֭מַעַן תִּצְדַּ֥ק בְּדָבְרֶ֗ךָ תִּזְכֶּ֥ה בְשָׁפְטֶֽךָ׃ 7Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. (MT 51:9; LXX 50:9; Rahlfs 50:9) הֵן־בְּעָו֥וֹן חוֹלָ֑לְתִּי וּ֝בְחֵ֗טְא יֶֽחֱמַ֥תְנִי אִמִּֽי׃ 8Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice. (MT 51:10; LXX 50:10; Rahlfs 50:10) הֵן־אֱ֭מֶת חָפַ֣צְתָּ בַטֻּח֑וֹת וּ֝בְסָתֻ֗ם חָכְמָ֥ה תוֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃ 9Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. (MT 51:11; LXX 50:11; Rahlfs 50:11) תְּחַטְּאֵ֣נִי בְאֵז֣וֹב וְאֶטְהָ֑ר תְּ֝כַבְּסֵ֗נִי וּמִשֶּׁ֥לֶג אַלְבִּֽין׃ 10Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (MT 51:12; LXX 50:12; Rahlfs 50:12) תַּ֭שְׁמִיעֵנִי שָׂשׂ֣וֹן וְשִׂמְחָ֑ה תָּ֝גֵ֗לְנָה עֲצָמ֥וֹת דִּכִּֽיתָ׃ 11Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me. (MT 51:13; LXX 50:13; Rahlfs 50:13) הַסְתֵּ֣ר פָּ֭נֶיךָ מֵחֲטָאָ֑י וְֽכָל־עֲוֺ֖נֹתַ֣י מְחֵֽה׃ 12Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit. (MT 51:14; LXX 50:14; Rahlfs 50:14) לֵ֣ב טָ֭הוֹר בְּרָא־לִ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים וְר֥וּחַ נָ֝כ֗וֹן חַדֵּ֥שׁ בְּקִרְבִּֽי׃ 13Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You. (MT 51:15; LXX 50:15; Rahlfs 50:15) אַל־תַּשְׁלִיכֵ֥נִי מִלְּפָנֶ֑יךָ וְר֥וּחַ קָ֝דְשְׁךָ֗ אַל־תִּקַּ֥ח מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ 14Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing of Your righteousness. (MT 51:16; LXX 50:16; Rahlfs 50:16) הָשִׁ֣יבָה לִּ֭י שְׂשׂ֣וֹן יִשְׁעֶ֑ךָ וְר֖וּחַ נְדִיבָ֣ה תִסְמְכֵֽנִי׃ 15O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise. (MT 51:17; LXX 50:17; Rahlfs 50:17) אֲלַמְּדָ֣ה פֹשְׁעִ֣ים דְּרָכֶ֑יךָ וְ֝חַטָּאִ֗ים אֵלֶ֥יךָ יָשֽׁוּבוּ׃ 16For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings. (MT 51:18; LXX 50:18; Rahlfs 50:18) הַצִּ֘ילֵ֤נִי מִדָּמִ֨ים ׀ אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים אֱלֹהֵ֥י תְּשׁוּעָתִ֑י תְּרַנֵּ֥ן לְ֝שׁוֹנִ֗י צִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃ 17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. (MT 51:19; LXX 50:19; Rahlfs 50:19) אֲ֭דֹנָי שְׂפָתַ֣י תִּפְתָּ֑ח וּ֝פִ֗י יַגִּ֥יד תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ 18In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem. (MT 51:20; LXX 50:20; Rahlfs 50:20) כִּ֤י ׀ לֹא־תַחְפֹּ֣ץ זֶ֣בַח וְאֶתֵּ֑נָה ע֝וֹלָ֗ה לֹ֣א תִרְצֶֽה׃ 19Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar. (MT 51:21; LXX 50:21; Rahlfs 50:21) זִֽבְחֵ֣י אֱלֹהִים֮ ר֪וּחַ נִשְׁבָּ֫רָ֥ה לֵב־נִשְׁבָּ֥ר וְנִדְכֶּ֑ה אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים לֹ֣א תִבְזֶֽה׃
