Salmos, 51

1. Ao mestre de canto. Hino de Davi.

1. To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2. Quando Doeg, o idumeu, veio dizer a Saul: “Davi entrou na casa de Aquimelec”.

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

3. Por que te glorias de tua malícia, ó infame prepotente?

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

4. Continuamente maquinas a perdição; tua língua é afiada navalha, tecedora de enganos.

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. Tu preferes o mal ao bem, a mentira à lealdade.

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

6. Só gostas de palavras perniciosas, ó língua pérfida!

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

7. Por isso, Deus te destruirá, há de te excluir para sempre; ele te expulsará de tua tenda, e te extirpará da terra dos vivos.

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

8. Vendo isso, tomados de medo, os justos zombarão de ti, dizendo:

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

9. “Eis o homem que não tomou a Deus por protetor, mas esperou na multidão de suas riquezas e se prevaleceu de seus próprios crimes”.

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

10. Eu sou, porém, como a verdejante oliveira na casa de Deus: confio na misericórdia de Deus para sempre.

10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11. Eu vos louvarei eternamente pelo que fizestes e cantarei vosso nome, na presença de vossos fiéis, porque é bom.

11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12.

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

13.

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

14.

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

15.

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

16.

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

17.

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

18.

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

19.

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.
