诗篇 51
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
向 神深切认罪痛悔
大卫的诗，交给诗班长，是大卫和拔示巴同房以后，及先知拿单来见他以后作的。（本篇细字标题在《马索拉文本》为51:1~2）
51 神啊！求你按着你的慈爱恩待我，
照着你丰盛的怜悯涂抹我的过犯。
2 求你彻底洗净我的罪孽，
洁除我的罪。
3 因为我知道我的过犯；
我的罪常在我面前。
4 我得罪了你，唯独得罪你；
我行了你眼中看为恶的事，
因此，你宣判的时候，显为公义；
你审判的时候，显为清正。
5 看哪，我是在罪孽里生的；
我母亲在罪中怀了我。
6 看哪！你喜爱的是内心的诚实；
在我内心的隐密处，你使我得智慧。
7 求你用牛膝草洁净我，我就干净；
求你洗净我，我就比雪更白。
8 求你使我听见欢喜和快乐的声音，
使你所压伤的骨头可以欢呼。
9 求你掩面不看我的罪恶，
求你涂抹我的一切罪孽。
10 神啊！求你为我造一颗清洁的心，
求你使我里面重新有坚定的灵。
11 不要把我从你面前丢弃，
不要从我身上收回你的圣灵。
12 求你使我重得你救恩的喜乐，
重新有乐意的灵支持我。
13 我就必把你的道指教有过犯的人，
罪人必回转归向你。
14 神啊！你是拯救我的 神，
求你救我脱离流人血的罪；
我的舌头就必颂扬你的公义。
15 主啊！求你开我的嘴，
使我的口宣扬赞美你的话。
16 因为你不喜爱祭物；
我就是献上燔祭，你也不喜悦。
17 神所要的祭，就是破碎的灵；
神啊！破碎痛悔的心，你必不轻看。
18 求你按着你的美意善待锡安；
求你修筑耶路撒冷的城墙。
19 那时，你必悦纳公义的祭、燔祭和全牲的燔祭；
那时，人必把公牛献在你的祭坛上。
Psalm 51
Complete Jewish Bible
51 (0) For the leader. A psalm of David, 2 when Natan the prophet came to him after his affair with Bat-Sheva:
3 (1) God, in your grace, have mercy on me;
in your great compassion, blot out my crimes.
4 (2) Wash me completely from my guilt,
and cleanse me from my sin.
5 (3) For I know my crimes,
my sin confronts me all the time.
6 (4) Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil from your perspective;
so that you are right in accusing me
and justified in passing sentence.
7 (5) True, I was born guilty,
was a sinner from the moment my mother conceived me.
8 (6) Still, you want truth in the inner person;
so make me know wisdom in my inmost heart.
9 (7) Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
10 (8) Let me hear the sound of joy and gladness,
so that the bones you crushed can rejoice.
11 (9) Turn away your face from my sins,
and blot out all my crimes.
12 (10) Create in me a clean heart, God;
renew in me a resolute spirit.
13 (11) Don’t thrust me away from your presence,
don’t take your Ruach Kodesh away from me.
14 (12) Restore my joy in your salvation,
and let a willing spirit uphold me.
15 (13) Then I will teach the wicked your ways,
and sinners will return to you.
16 (14) Rescue me from the guilt of shedding blood,
God, God of my salvation!
Then my tongue will sing
about your righteousness —
17 (15) Adonai, open my lips;
then my mouth will praise you.
18 (16) For you don’t want sacrifices, or I would give them;
you don’t take pleasure in burnt offerings.
19 (17) My sacrifice to God is a broken spirit;
God, you won’t spurn a broken, chastened heart.
20 (18) In your good pleasure, make Tziyon prosper;
rebuild the walls of Yerushalayim.
21 (19) Then you will delight in righteous sacrifices,
in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
then they will offer bulls on your altar.
