TEHILLIM51eng_ojb

1(For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid.2When Natan HaNavi confronted him after he went into Bat-Sheva)3Have mercy upon me, O Elohim, according to Thy chesed;according unto the multitude of Thy rachamim blot out my peysha'im (transgressions, rebellions).4Wash me thoroughly from mine avon (iniquity),and cleanse me from my chattat (sin).
5For I acknowledge my peysha'im (transgressions, rebellions);and my chattat (sin) is ever before me.6Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned,and done the rah in Thy sight;that Thou mightest be found just when Thou speakest,and be blameless when Thou judgest.7Surely, I was brought forth in avon;and in chet did immi conceive me.8Surely Thou desirest emes in the inward parts;and in the inmost place Thou shalt make me to know chochmah.
9Purge me with ezov (hyssop),and I shall be tahor;wash me,and I shall be whiter than sheleg (snow).10Make me to hear sasson and simchah;that the atzmot which Thou hast broken may rejoice.11Hide Thy face from my chatta'im,and blot out all mine avonot.12Bara in me a lev tahor, O Elohim;and renew a ruach nekhon (steadfast spirit) within me.13Cast me not away from Thy presence;and take not Thy Ruach Hakodesh from me.14Restore unto me the sasson of Thy salvation;and uphold me with a ruach nedivah (a willing spirit).
15Then will I teach poshe'im (transgressors) Thy drakhim;and chatta'im (sinners) shall be converted unto Thee.16Save me from damim (bloodguiltiness),O Elohim, Thou Elohei Teshuati;and my leshon shall sing aloud of Thy tzedakah.17Adonoi, open Thou my lips;and my mouth shall show forth Thy tehillah (praise).18For Thou desirest not zevach (sacrifice);else would I give it; Thou delightest not in olah (burnt offering).19The zivkhei Elohim are a ruach nishbarah (broken spirit);a broken and contrite lev, O Elohim, Thou wilt not despise.
20Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Tziyon;build Thou the chomot Yerushalayim.21Then shalt Thou be pleased with zivkhei tzedek (true sacrifices, sacrifices of righteousness),with olah (burnt offering) and whole burnt offering;then shall they offer parim (bulls) upon Thine Mizbe'ach.
