Psalms

（大衛與拔示巴同室以後，先知拿單來見他；他作這詩，交與伶長。）神啊，求你按你的慈愛憐恤我！按你豐盛的慈悲塗抹我的過犯！

[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.

求你將我的罪孽洗除淨盡，並潔除我的罪！

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

因為，我知道我的過犯；我的罪常在我面前。

For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin {is} ever before me.

我向你犯罪，惟獨得罪了你；在你眼前行了這惡，以致你責備我的時候顯為公義，判斷我的時候顯為清正。

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.

我是在罪孽裡生的，在我母親懷胎的時候就有了罪。

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. {conceive...: Heb. warm me}

你所喜愛的是內裡誠實；你在我隱密處，必使我得智慧。

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

求你用牛膝草潔淨我，我就乾淨；求你洗滌我，我就比雪更白。

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

求你使我得聽歡喜快樂的聲音，使你所壓傷的骨頭可以踴躍。

Make me to hear joy and gladness; {that} the bones {which} thou hast broken may rejoice.

求你掩面不看我的罪，塗抹我一切的罪孽。

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

神啊，求你為我造清潔的心，使我裡面重新有正直（或譯：堅定）的靈。

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. {right: or, constant}

不要丟棄我，使我離開你的面；不要從我收回你的聖靈。

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

求你使我仍得救恩之樂，賜我樂意的靈扶持我，

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me {with thy} free spirit.

我就把你的道指教有過犯的人，罪人必歸順你。

{Then} will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

神啊，你是拯救我的神；求你救我脫離流人血的罪！我的舌頭就高聲歌唱你的公義。

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: {and} my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. {bloodguiltiness: Heb. bloods}

主啊，求你使我嘴唇張開，我的口便傳揚讚美你的話！

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

你本不喜愛祭物，若喜愛，我就獻上；燔祭，你也不喜悅。

For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give {it}: thou delightest not in burnt offering. {else...: or, that I should}

神所要的祭就是憂傷的靈；神啊，憂傷痛悔的心，你必不輕看。

The sacrifices of God {are} a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

求你隨你的美意善待錫安，建造耶路撒冷的城牆。

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

那時，你必喜愛公義的祭和燔祭並全牲的燔祭；那時，人必將公牛獻在你壇上。

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.
