Psalms 51
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
In finem. Intellectus David,
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him after his adultery with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me (note: Or Be gracious to me), O God, according to Your loving devotion; according to Your great compassion, blot out my transgressions.
cum venit Doëg Idumæus, et nuntiavit Sauli : Venit David in domum Achimelech.
Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
Quid gloriaris in malitia, qui potens es in iniquitate ?
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
Tota die injustitiam cogitavit lingua tua ; sicut novacula acuta fecisti dolum.
Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge (note: LXX and victorious when You judge; cited in Romans 3:4).
Dilexisti malitiam super benignitatem ; iniquitatem magis quam loqui æquitatem.
Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
Dilexisti omnia verba præcipitationis ; lingua dolosa.
Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
Propterea Deus destruet te in finem ; evellet te, et emigrabit te de tabernaculo tuo, et radicem tuam de terra viventium.
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Videbunt justi, et timebunt ; et super eum ridebunt, et dicent :
Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.
Ecce homo qui non posuit Deum adjutorem suum ; sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum, et prævaluit in vanitate sua.
Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.
Ego autem, sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei ; speravi in misericordia Dei, in æternum et in sæculum sæculi.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Confitebor tibi in sæculum, quia fecisti ; et exspectabo nomen tuum, quoniam bonum est in conspectu sanctorum tuorum.
Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
