诗篇第51篇

《诗篇》第51篇是《希伯来圣经·诗篇》中的一篇，在原稿前说明作者是大卫王，他与拔示巴同房以后，受到先知拿单的责备；于是作了这首痛悔的诗歌。它开始于：
“神啊，求你按你的慈爱恩待我”
一般的基督徒都按照字面意义来理解这首诗，但是有批评却认为这首诗是由几位作者写成。
作为一首悔罪诗歌，它是东正教使用最频繁的诗歌之一（东正教将其列为第50篇）。

**译文**

**拉丁语**
# Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.
# Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum: dele iniquitatem meam.
# Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me.
# Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
# Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris.
# Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.
# Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiæ tuæ manifestasti mihi.
# Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
# Auditui meo dabis gaudium et lætitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.
# Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis: et omnes iniquitates meas dele.
# Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis.
# Ne projicias me a facie tua: et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.
# Redde mihi lætitiam salutaris tui: et spiritu principali confirma me.
# Docebo iníquos vias tuas: et impii ad te convertentur.
# Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meæ: et exsultabit lingua mea justítiam tuam.
# Domine, labia mea aperies: et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.
# Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique: holocaustis non delectaberis.
# Sacrifícium Deo spiritus contribulatus: cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.
# Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion: ut ædificentur muri Jerusalem.
# Tunc acceptabis sacrifícium justitiæ, oblationes et holocausta: tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.

**英语**
# Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
# Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
# For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
# 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.
# Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
# Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
# Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
# Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
# Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
# Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
# Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
# Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
# Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
# Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
# O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
# For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
# The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
# Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
# 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.
 Both the Revised Standard and King James versions combine verses 2-3 of the Vulgate text.
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
# Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy steadfast love; according to thy abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.
# Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!
# For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
# 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.
# Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
# Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.
# Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
# Fill me with joy and gladness; let the bones which thou hast broken rejoice.
# Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
# Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.
# Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy Spirit from me.
# Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
# Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners will return to thee.
# Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of thy deliverance.
# O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
# For thou hast no delight in sacrifice; were I to give a burnt offering, thou wouldst not be pleased.
# The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
# Do good to Zion in thy good pleasure; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem,
# Then wilt thou delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on thy altar.
