Oh Dios, ten compasión de mí
(1) Del maestro de coro. Salmo de David, (2) después que el profeta Natán lo reprendió por haber cometido adulterio con Betsabé.
51 (3) Por tu amor, oh Dios, ten compasión de mí;
por tu gran ternura, borra mis culpas.
2 (4) ¡Lávame de mi maldad!
¡Límpiame de mi pecado!
3 (5) Reconozco que he sido rebelde;
mi pecado no se borra de mi mente.
4 (6) Contra ti he pecado, y sólo contra ti,
haciendo lo malo, lo que tú condenas.
Por eso tu sentencia es justa;
irreprochable tu juicio.
5 (7) En verdad, soy malo desde que nací;
soy pecador desde el seno de mi madre.
6 (8) En verdad, tú amas al corazón sincero,
y en lo íntimo me has dado sabiduría.
7 (9) Purifícame con hisopo, y quedaré limpio;
lávame, y quedaré más blanco que la nieve.
8 (10) Lléname de gozo y alegría;
alégrame de nuevo, aunque me has quebrantado.
9 (11) Aleja de tu vista mis pecados
y borra todas mis maldades.
10 (12) Oh Dios, ¡pon en mí un corazón limpio!,
¡dame un espíritu nuevo y fiel!
11 (13) No me apartes de tu presencia
ni me quites tu santo espíritu.
12 (14) Hazme sentir de nuevo el gozo de tu salvación;
sosténme con tu espíritu generoso,
13 (15) para que yo enseñe a los rebeldes tus caminos
y los pecadores se vuelvan a ti.
14 (16) Líbrame de cometer homicidios,
oh Dios, Dios de mi salvación,
y anunciaré con cantos que tú eres justo.
15 (17) Señor, abre mis labios,
y con mis labios te cantaré alabanzas.
16 (18) Pues tú no quieres ofrendas ni holocaustos;
yo te los daría, pero no es lo que te agrada.
17 (19) Las ofrendas a Dios son un espíritu dolido;
¡tú no desprecias, oh Dios, un corazón hecho pedazos!
18 (20) Haz bien a Sión, por tu buena voluntad;
vuelve a levantar los muros de Jerusalén.
19 (21) Entonces aceptarás los sacrificios requeridos,
las ofrendas y los holocaustos;
entonces se ofrecerán becerros sobre tu altar.
Psalm 51

Psalm 51
King James Version
51 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 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.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 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.

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!
2 Wash me completely clean of my guilt;
purify me from my sin!
3 Because I know my wrongdoings,
my sin is always right in front of me.
4 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.
5 Yes, I was born in guilt, in sin,
from the moment my mother conceived me.
6 And yes, you want truth in the most hidden places;
you teach me wisdom in the most secret space.[a]
7 Purify me with hyssop and I will be clean;
wash me and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and celebration again;
let the bones you crushed rejoice once more.
9 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.
