Psalm 51 English

51:1 Have mercy on me, [1] O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!

3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right [2] spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.

13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will return to you.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
O God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
build up the walls of Jerusalem;
19 then will you delight in right sacrifices,
in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.

PSALMIUS L.
1 MISERERE mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.
Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum: deleiniquitatem meam.

2 Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me.

3 Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peceatum meum contra me est semper.

4 Tibi soli peceavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris.

5 Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.

6 Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiæ tuæ manifestasti mihi.

7 Asperges me, Domine, hyssopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.

8 Auditui meo dabis gaudium et lætitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.

9 Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis: et omnes iniquitates meas dele.

10 Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: et spiritum reotum innoara in visceribas meis.

11 Ne projicias me a facie tua: et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.

12 Redde mihi lætitiam salutaris tui: et spiritu principali confirma me.

13 Docebo iniquos vias tuas: et impii ad te convertentur.

14 Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meæ: et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam.

15 Domine, labia mea aperies: et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.

16 Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem: utique holocaustis non delectaberus.

17 Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus: cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.

18 Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion: ut ædificentur muri Hierusalem.

19 Tunc aceeptabis sacrificium justitiæ, oblationes et holocausta: tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.
