诗篇 51
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
祈求上帝赦免
大卫与拔示芭通奸后，先知拿单来找他，他作了此诗，交给乐长。
51 上帝啊，求你怜悯我，
因为你的慈爱永不改变；
求你除去我的过犯，
因为你有无限的怜悯。
2 求你洗净我的罪过，
清除我的罪恶。
3 我知道自己的过犯，
我的罪恶一直萦绕眼前。
4 我犯罪得罪了你，
唯独得罪了你，
做了你看为邪恶的事，
所以你对我的责备是正当的，
你对我的审判是公正的。
5 我生来就是个罪人，
在母腹成胎的时候就有罪。
6 你所喜爱的是内心的诚实，
求你使我内心有智慧。
7 求你用牛膝草洁净我的罪，
使我干净；
求你洗净我，使我比雪更白。
8 求你让我听到欢喜快乐的声音，
让我这被你压碎的骨头可以欢跳。
9 求你饶恕我的罪过，
除去我一切的罪恶。
10 上帝啊，
求你为我造一颗纯洁的心，
使我里面重新有正直的灵。
11 不要丢弃我，
使我离开你，
也不要从我身上收回你的圣灵。
12 求你让我重新享受蒙你拯救的喜乐，
赐我一颗乐意顺服你的心灵。
13 这样，我就能把你的法则教导罪人，
使他们归向你。
14 拯救我的上帝啊，
求你赦免我杀人流血的罪，
使我颂扬你的公义。
15 主啊，求你开我的口，
我要向你发出赞美。
16 你不喜欢祭物，
否则我会献上，
你也不喜爱燔祭。
17 你所要的祭是忧伤的心灵。
上帝啊，你必不轻看忧伤痛悔的心。
18 求你恩待锡安，重建耶路撒冷的城墙。
19 那时，你必悦纳诚心献上的祭物、燔祭和全牲燔祭，
人们必把公牛献在你的坛上。
Psalm 51
1599 Geneva Bible
51 When David was rebuked by the Prophet Nathan for his great offenses, he did not only acknowledge the same to God, with protestation of his natural corruption and iniquity, but also left a memorial thereof to his posterity. 7 Therefore first he desireth God to forgive his sins, 10 And to renew in him his holy Spirit. 13 With promise that he will not be unmindful of those great graces. 18 Finally, fearing lest God would punish the whole Church for his fault, he requireth that he would rather increase his graces toward the same.
To him that excelleth. A Psalm of David, when the Prophet Nathan [a]came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, [b]according to thy loving-kindness: according to the multitude of thy compassions put away mine iniquities.
2 Wash me [c]thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from mine sin.
3 For I [d]know mine iniquities, and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, against thee only have I sinned, and done evil in thy sight, that thou mayest be just when thou [e]speakest, and pure when thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was born in iniquity, and in sin hath my mother conceived me.
6 Behold, thou [f]lovest truth in the inward affections: therefore hast thou taught me wisdom in the secret of mine heart.
7 Purge me with (A)hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear [g]joy and gladness, that the [h]bones, which thou hast broken, may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and put away all mine iniquities.
10 [i]Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thine holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and establish me with thy [j]free Spirit.
13 Then shall I teach thy [k]ways unto the wicked, and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from [l]blood, O God, which art the God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing joyfully of thy righteousness.
15 [m]Open thou my lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
16 For thou desirest no sacrifice, though I would give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a [n]contrite spirit: a contrite and a broken heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18 Be favorable unto [o]Zion for thy good pleasure: build the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt thou accept the sacrifices of [p]righteousness, even the burnt offering and oblation: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar.
