Psalms 51: The Psalm of asking for forgiveness

It's back to haunt me, unconsciously and now it transcends even that.

詩 篇 51/Psalm 51

1 上帝啊,求你按你的慈爱怜恤我!按你丰盛的慈悲涂抹我的过犯!

1Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2 求你将我的罪孽洗除净尽 ,并洁除我的罪!

2Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 因为,我知道我的过犯;我的罪常在我面前。

3For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

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。

4Against 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.

5 我是在罪孽里生的,在我母亲怀胎的时候就有了罪。

5Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6 你所喜爱的是内里诚实;你在我隐密处,必使我得智慧。

6Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7 求你用牛膝草洁净我,我就乾净;求你洗涤我,我就比雪更白。

7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

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。

8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9 求你掩面不看我的罪,涂抹我一切的罪孽。

9Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 上帝啊,求你为我造清洁的心,使我里面重新有坚定的灵。

10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11 不要丢弃我,使我离开你的面;不要从我收回你的圣灵。

11Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12 求你使我仍得救恩之乐,赐我乐意的灵扶持我,

12Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13 我就把你的道指教有过犯的人,罪人必归顺你。

13Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

15 主啊,求你使我嘴唇张开,我的口便传扬赞美你的话!

15O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

16 你本不喜爱祭物,若喜爱,我就献上;燔祭,你也不喜悦。

16For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

17 上帝所要的祭就是忧伤的灵;上帝啊,忧伤痛悔的心,你必不轻看。

17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
