Psalms 50

1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυὶδ,

2 ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς αὐτὸν Νάθαν τὸν προφήτην, ἡνίκα εἰσῆλθε πρὸς Βηρσαβεέ.

3 Ἐλέησον με ὁ Θεὸς κατὰ τὸ μέγα ἔλεός σου, καὶ κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου ἐξάλειψον τὸ ἀνόμημά μου.

4 Ἐπιπλεῖον πλῦνόν με ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας μου, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας μου καθάρισόν με.

5 Ὅτι τὴν ἀνομίαν μου ἐγὼ γινώσκω, καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία μου ἐνώπιόν μου ἐστὶ διαπαντός·

6 Σοὶ μόνῳ ἥμαρτον, καὶ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιόν σου ἐποίησα· ὅπως ἂν δικαιωθῇς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου, καὶ νικήσῃς ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαί σε.

7 Ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἐν ἀνομίαις συνελήφθην, καὶ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις ἐκίσσησέ με ἡ μήτηρ μου.

8 Ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀλήθειαν ἠγάπησας, τὰ ἄδηλα καὶ τὰ κρύφια τῆς σοφίας σου ἐδήλωσάς μοι.

9 Ῥαντιεῖς με ὑσσώπῳ καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι, πλυνεῖς με καὶ ὑπὲρ χιόνα λευκανθήσομαι.

10 Ἀκουτιεῖς με ἀγαλλίασιν καὶ εὐφροσύνην, ἀγαλλιάσονται ὀστᾶ τεταπεινωμένα.

11 Ἀπόστρεψον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου, καὶ πάσας τὰς ἀνομίας μου ἐξάλειψον.

12 Καρδίαν καθαρὰν κτίσον ἐν ἐμοὶ ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ πνεῦμα εὐθὲς ἐγκαίνισον ἐν τοῖς ἐγκάτοις μου.

13 Μὴ ἀποῤῥίψῃς με ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου, καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιόν σου μὴ ἀντανέλῃς ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.

14 Ἀπόδος μοι τὴν ἀγαλλίασιν τοῦ σωτηρίου σου, πνεύματι ἡγεμονικῷ στήριξόν με.

15 Διδάξω ἀνόμους τὰς ὁδούς σου, καὶ ἀσεβεῖς ἐπὶ σὲ ἐπιστρέψουσι.

16 Ῥῦσαί με ἐξ αἱμάτων ὁ Θεὸς, ὁ Θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου, ἀγαλλιάσεται ἡ γλῶσσά μου τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου.

17 Κύριε, τὰ χείλη μου ἀνοίξεις, καὶ τὸ στόμα μου ἀναγγελεῖ τὴν αἴνεσίν σου.

18 Ὅτι εἰ ἠθέλησας θυσίαν, ἔδωκα ἄν· ὁλοκαυτώματα οὐκ εὐδοκήσεις.

19 Θυσία τῷ Θεῷ πνεῦμα συντετριμμένον, καρδίαν συντετριμμένην καὶ τεταπεινωμένην ὁ Θεὸς οὐκ ἐξουδενώσει.

20 Ἀγάθυνον, Κύριε, ἐν τῇ εὐδοκίᾳ σου τὴν Σιὼν, καὶ οἰκοδομηθήτω τὰ τείχη Ἱερουσαλήμ.

21 Τότε εὐδοκήσεις θυσίαν δικαιοσύνης, ἀναφορὰν, καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα· τότε ἀνοίσουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριόν σου μόσχους.

1 For the end, a Psalm of David,

2 when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone in to Bersabee.

3 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgression.

4 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

5 For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.

6 Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil before thee: that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

7 For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.

8 For, behold, thou lovest truth: thou hast manifested to me the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom.

9 Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

10 Thou shalt cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.

11 Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

12 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.

13 Cast me not away from thy presence; and remove not thy Holy Spirit from me.

14 Restore to me the joy of thy salvation: establish me with thy directing Spirit.

governing.

15 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and ungodly men shall turn to thee.

16 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: and my tongue shall joyfully declare thy righteousness.

17 O Lord, thou shalt open my lips; and my mouth shall declare thy praise.

18 For if thou desiredst sacrifice, I would have given it : thou wilt not take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings.

19 Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.

20 Do good, O Lord, to Sion in thy good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.

21 Then shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole-burnt-sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar.

Properly, a heave or wave-offfering.
