Psm51:1 To victory, the psalm of David ; when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he entered to Bathsheba . God, have thou mercy on me; by thy great mercy. And by the muchliness of thy merciful doings; do thou away my wickedness. ( To victory, the song of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had slept with Bathsheba . God, have thou mercy on me; because of thy great love. And in the multitude of thy merciful doings; do thou away my wickedness.)
Psm51:2 Moreover wash thou me from my wickedness; and cleanse thou me from my sin.
Psm51:3 For I acknowledge my wickedness; and my sin is ever[more] against me. (For I confess my sinfulness; yea, my sin is before me forevermore.)
Psm51:4 I have sinned to thee alone, and I have done evil before thee; that thou be justified in thy words, and overcome when thou art deemed. (I have sinned against thee alone, and I have done evil before thee; so that thou art justified with thy words, and proved right when thou judgest me.)
Psm51:5 For lo! I was conceived in wickednesses; and my mother conceived me in sins. (For lo! I was conceived in sinfulness; yea, my mother conceived me in sin.)
Psm51:6 For lo! thou lovedest truth; thou hast showed to me the uncertain things, and privy things of thy wisdom. (For lo! thou lovedest the truth; and thou hast shown me the uncertain things, and the secret things, of thy wisdom.)
Psm51:7 Lord, sprinkle thou me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; wash thou me, and I shall be made white more than snow (wash thou me, and I shall be made more white than snow).
Psm51:8 Give thou joy, and gladness to mine hearing; and bones made meek shall full out make joy. (Let me hear the sounds of joy, and of gladness; and then the bones, which thou hast broken and bruised, shall make great joy, or rejoice .)
Psm51:9 Turn away thy face from my sins; and do away all my wickednesses.
Psm51:10 God, make thou a clean heart in me; and make thou new a rightful spirit in my entrails. (God, make my heart clean in me; and put thou a new and right spirit deep within me.)
Psm51:11 Cast thou me not away from thy face; and take thou not away from me thine holy spirit. (Do not throw thou me away from before thee; and take thou not away thy holy spirit from me/and take thou not away thy Holy Spirit from me.)
Psm51:12 Give thou to me the gladness of thine health; and confirm thou me with the principal spirit. (Give thou to me the gladness of thy salvation, or of thy deliverance ; and give thou to me a spirit willing to obey thee.)
Psm51:13 I shall teach wicked men thy ways; and unfaithful men shall be converted to thee. (I shall teach the wicked thy ways; and the unfaithful shall return to thee.)
Psm51:14 God, the God of mine health, deliver thou me from bloods, or sins ; and my tongue shall joyfully sing (of) thy rightfulness. (God, the God of my salvation/the God of my deliverance, save thou me from bloodshed, or from death ; and my tongue shall joyfully sing of thy righteousness, or of thy justice .)
Psm51:15 Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall tell (out) thy praising.
Psm51:16 For if thou haddest would sacrifice, I had given it ; truly thou shalt not delight in burnt sacrifice. (For if thou haddest desired a sacrifice, that is, an offering , I would have given it to thee ; but truly thou delightest not in burnt sacrifice.)
Psm51:17 A sacrifice to God is a spirit troubled, that is, (one made) sorry for sin ; God, thou shalt not despise a contrite heart, and made meek. (A sacrifice to God is a troubled spirit, that is, one made sorry because of sinning ; God, thou shalt not despise a contrite and humble heart.)
Psm51:18 Lord, do thou benignly in thy good will to Zion; (so) that the walls of Jerusalem (may) be builded.
Psm51:19 Then thou shalt take pleasantly the sacrifice of rightfulness, (with) offerings, and burnt sacrifices; then they shall put calves on thine altar. (Then thou shalt be pleased with a righteous sacrifice, yea, with offerings, and burnt sacrifices; and then they shall put calves upon thy altar.)
