诗篇 147:2
耶和华建造耶路撒冷，
聚集以色列中被赶散的人。
诗篇 51:1-13
51:1 神啊，求你按你的慈爱怜恤我，
按你丰盛的慈悲涂抹我的过犯！
51:2 求你将我的罪孽洗除净尽，
并洁除我的罪！
51:3 因为我知道我的过犯，
我的罪常在我面前。
51:4 我向你犯罪，惟独得罪了你，
在你眼前行了这恶，
以致你责备我的时候显为公义；
判断我的时候显为清正。
51:5 我是在罪孽里生的，
在我母亲怀胎的时候就有了罪。
51:6 你所喜爱的是内里诚实；
你在我隐密处必使我得智慧。
51:7 求你用牛膝草洁净我，我就干净；
求你洗涤我，我就比雪更白。
51:8 求你使我得听欢喜快乐的声音，
使你所压伤的骨头可以踊跃。
51:9 求你掩面不看我的罪，
涂抹我一切的罪孽。
51:10 神啊，求你为我造清洁的心，
使我里面重新有正直（注：“正直”或作“坚定”）的灵。
51:11 不要丢弃我，使我离开你的面；
不要从我收回你的圣灵。
51:12 求你使我仍得救恩之乐，
赐我乐意的灵扶持我；
51:13 我就把你的道指教有过犯的人，
罪人必归顺你。
Psalm 147:2 (NIV)
The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel.
Psalm 51:1-13 (NIV)
1Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.
2Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
3For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
4Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.
5Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6Surely you desire truth in the inner parts ; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.
10Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you.
