Psalms 51

KING JAMES BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.	1 Magistro chori. Psalmus. David,
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.	2 cum venit ad eum Nathan propheta, postquam cum Bethsabee peccavit.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.	3 Miserere mei, Deus, secundum misericordiam tuam; et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum dele iniquitatem meam.
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.	4 Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea et a peccato meo munda me.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.	5 Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco, et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.	6 Tibi, tibi soli peccavi et malum coram te feci, ut iustus inveniaris in sententia tua et aequus in iudicio tuo.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.	7 Ecce enim in iniquitate generatus sum, et in peccato concepit me mater mea.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.	8 Ecce enim veritatem in corde dilexisti et in occulto sapientiam manifestasti mihi.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.	9 Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.	10 Audire me facies gaudium et laetitiam, et exsultabunt ossa, quae contrivisti.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.	11 Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis et omnes iniquitates meas dele.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.	12 Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, et spiritum firmum innova in visceribus meis.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.	13 Ne proicias me a facie tua et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.	14 Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui et spiritu promptissimo confirma me.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.	15 Docebo iniquos vias tuas, et impii ad te convertentur.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.	16 Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae, et exsultabit lingua mea iustitiam tuam.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.	17 Domine, labia mea aperies, et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.
18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.	18 Non enim sacrificio delectaris; holocaustum, si offeram, non placebit.
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.	19 Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus; cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.
	20 Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion, ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem.
	21 Tunc acceptabis sacrificium iustitiae, oblationes et holocausta; tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.
