Salmos, 51

0.

0. To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

1. Ao mestre de canto. Hino de Davi.

1. Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy steadfast love; according to thy abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.

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

2. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!

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

3. For I know 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 that which is evil in thy sight, so that thou art justified in thy sentence and blameless in thy judgment.

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

5. Behold, I was brought forth 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 being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.

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. Fill me with joy and gladness; let the bones which thou hast broken 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 my 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 put a new and 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 to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.

13.

13. Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners will return to thee.

14.

14. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of thy deliverance.

15.

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

16.

16. For thou hast no delight in sacrifice; were I to give a burnt offering, thou wouldst not be pleased.

17.

17. The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

18.

18. Do good to Zion in thy good pleasure; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem,

19.

19. then wilt thou delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on thy altar.
