诗篇 51
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
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。
2 求你徹底洗淨我的罪孽,
潔除我的罪。
3 因為我知道我的過犯;
我的罪常在我面前。
4 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。
5 看哪,我是在罪孽裡生的;
我母親在罪中懷了我。
6 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。
7 求你用牛膝草潔淨我,我就乾淨;
求你洗淨我,我就比雪更白。
8 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。
9 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
Expanded Bible
A Prayer for Forgiveness
For the director of music. A psalm of David when the prophet Nathan came to David after ·David’s sin with Bathsheba [he committed adultery with/L had gone to Bathsheba; 2 Sam. 11:1—12:25].
51 God, be ·merciful [gracious] to me
·because you are loving [according to your love/loyalty].
·Because you are always ready to be merciful [According to your abundant compassion],
·wipe [blot] out all my ·wrongs [transgressions].
2 Wash ·away [L me thoroughly from] all my guilt
and make me clean ·again [L from my sin].
3 I know about my ·wrongs [transgressions],
and ·I can’t forget my sin [L my sin is continually before me].
4 You ·are the only one [alone] I have sinned against;
I have done ·what you say is wrong [L evil in your eyes].
You are ·right [vindicated] when you speak
and ·fair [pure; blameless] when you judge.
5 I was ·brought into this world [born] in ·sin [guilt].
In sin my mother ·gave birth to [conceived] me [Rom. 3:9–20; 7:18].
6 You ·want me to be completely truthful [L desire truth/faithfulness in my inward parts],
·so teach me wisdom [L and secretly you make me know wisdom].
7 ·Take away my sin [L Remove my sin with hyssop; Ex. 12:22; C a plant used in purification rituals; Lev. 14:4, 6, 49–51; Num. 19:18], and I will be clean.
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow [Is. 1:18].
8 Make me hear sounds of joy and gladness;
let the bones you crushed ·be happy [rejoice] again.
9 ·Turn [L Hide] your face from my sins
and ·wipe [blot] out all my guilt.
10 Create in me a ·pure [clean] heart, God,
and ·make my spirit right again [L renew a right/steadfast spirit in me].
11 Do not send me away from you
or take your ·Holy Spirit [or holy spirit] away from me.
12 ·Give me back [Restore to me] the joy of your ·salvation [rescue].
·Keep me strong by giving [Sustain in] me a willing spirit.
13 Then I will teach your ways to ·those who do wrong [transgressors],
and sinners will turn back to you.
14 God, save me from ·the guilt of murder [bloodshed],
God of my ·salvation [rescue],
and ·I will sing about your goodness [L let my tongue sing for joy of your righteousness].
15 Lord, let ·me speak [L my lips open]
so ·I may praise you [L my mouth may speak your praise].
16 You are not pleased by sacrifices, or I would give them.
You don’t want burnt offerings [Lev. 1:1–17].
17 The sacrifice God wants is a broken spirit.
God, you will not ·reject [despise] a heart that is broken and ·sorry for sin [contrite; Is. 57:15; 66:2; Mic. 6:6–8].
18 Do whatever good you wish for ·Jerusalem [L Zion; C the location of the Temple].
Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then you will be pleased with right sacrifices and whole burnt offerings [Lev. 1:1–17],
and bulls will be offered on your altar.
Psalm 51
New International Version
Psalm 51[a]
For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.(A)
1 Have mercy(B) on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;(C)
according to your great compassion(D)
blot out(E) my transgressions.(F)
2 Wash away(G) all my iniquity
and cleanse(H) me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.(I)
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned(J)
and done what is evil in your sight;(K)
so you are right in your verdict
and justified when you judge.(L)
5 Surely I was sinful(M) at birth,(N)
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
you taught me wisdom(O) in that secret place.(P)
7 Cleanse(Q) me with hyssop,(R) and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.(S)
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;(T)
let the bones(U) you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins(V)
and blot out(W) all my iniquity.
10 Create in me a pure heart,(X) O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.(Y)
11 Do not cast me(Z) from your presence(AA)
or take your Holy Spirit(AB) from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation(AC)
and grant me a willing spirit,(AD) to sustain me.(AE)
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,(AF)
so that sinners(AG) will turn back to you.(AH)
14 Deliver me(AI) from the guilt of bloodshed,(AJ) O God,
you who are God my Savior,(AK)
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.(AL)
15 Open my lips, Lord,(AM)
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 You do not delight in sacrifice,(AN) or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 My sacrifice,(AO) O God, is[b] a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart(AP)
you, God, will not despise.
