向 神深切認罪痛悔

大衛的詩,交給詩班長,是大衛和拔示巴同房以後,及先知拿單來見他以後作的。(本篇細字標題在《馬索拉文本》為51:1~2)

51  神啊!求你按著你的慈愛恩待我,

照著你豐盛的憐憫塗抹我的過犯。

求你徹底洗淨我的罪孽,

潔除我的罪。

因為我知道我的過犯;

我的罪常在我面前。

我得罪了你,唯獨得罪你;

我行了你眼中看為惡的事,

因此,你宣判的時候,顯為公義;

你審判的時候,顯為清正。

看哪,我是在罪孽裡生的;

我母親在罪中懷了我。

看哪!你喜愛的是內心的誠實;

在我內心的隱密處,你使我得智慧。

求你用牛膝草潔淨我,我就乾淨;

求你洗淨我,我就比雪更白。

求你使我聽見歡喜和快樂的聲音,

使你所壓傷的骨頭可以歡呼。

求你掩面不看我的罪惡,

求你塗抹我的一切罪孽。

10  神啊!求你為我造一顆清潔的心,

求你使我裡面重新有堅定的靈。

11 不要把我從你面前丟棄,

不要從我身上收回你的聖靈。

12 求你使我重得你救恩的喜樂,

重新有樂意的靈支持我。

13 我就必把你的道指教有過犯的人,

罪人必回轉歸向你。

14  神啊!你是拯救我的 神,

求你救我脫離流人血的罪;

我的舌頭就必頌揚你的公義。

15 主啊!求你開我的嘴,

使我的口宣揚讚美你的話。

16 因為你不喜愛祭物;

我就是獻上燔祭,你也不喜悅。

17  神所要的祭,就是破碎的靈;

 神啊!破碎痛悔的心,你必不輕看。

18 求你按著你的美意善待錫安;

求你修築耶路撒冷的城牆。

19 那時,你必悅納公義的祭、燔祭和全牲的燔祭;

那時,人必把公牛獻在你的祭壇上。

Psalm 51

For the music leader. A psalm of David, when the prophet Nathan came to him just after he had been with Bathsheba.

51 Have mercy on me, God, according to your faithful love!
    Wipe away my wrongdoings according to your great compassion!
Wash me completely clean of my guilt;
    purify me from my sin!
Because I know my wrongdoings,
    my sin is always right in front of me.
I’ve sinned against you—you alone.
    I’ve committed evil in your sight.
That’s why you are justified when you render your verdict,
    completely correct when you issue your judgment.
Yes, I was born in guilt, in sin,
    from the moment my mother conceived me.
And yes, you want truth in the most hidden places;
    you teach me wisdom in the most secret space.[a]

Purify me with hyssop and I will be clean;
    wash me and I will be whiter than snow.
Let me hear joy and celebration again;
    let the bones you crushed rejoice once more.
Hide your face from my sins;
    wipe away all my guilty deeds!
10 Create a clean heart for me, God;
    put a new, faithful spirit deep inside me!
11 Please don’t throw me out of your presence;
    please don’t take your holy spirit away from me.
12 Return the joy of your salvation to me
    and sustain me with a willing spirit.
13 Then I will teach wrongdoers your ways,
    and sinners will come back to you.

14 Deliver me from violence, God, God of my salvation,
    so that my tongue can sing of your righteousness.
15 Lord, open my lips,
    and my mouth will proclaim your praise.
16 You don’t want sacrifices.
    If I gave an entirely burned offering,
    you wouldn’t be pleased.
17 A broken spirit is my sacrifice, God.[b]
    You won’t despise a heart, God, that is broken and crushed.
18 Do good things for Zion by your favor.
    Rebuild Jerusalem’s walls.
19 Then you will again want sacrifices of righteousness—
    entirely burned offerings and complete offerings.
        Then bulls will again be sacrificed on your altar.

  1. Psalm 51:6 Heb uncertain
  2. Psalm 51:17 Correction

51 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 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 thy holy spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
