Tehillim 51
1(For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid. When Natan HaNavi confronted him after he went into Bat-Sheva--2Sm. 11:2) Have mercy upon me, O Elohim, according to Thy chesed; according unto the multitude of Thy rachamim blot out my peysha'im (transgressions, rebellions).
2(4) Wash me thoroughly from mine avon (iniquity), and cleanse me from my chattat (sin).
3(5) For I acknowledge my peysha'im (transgressions, rebellions); and my chattat (sin) is ever before me.
4(6) Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done the rah in Thy sight; that Thou mightest be found just when Thou speakest, and be blameless when Thou judgest.
5(7) Surely, I was brought forth in avon; and in chet did immi conceive me
6(8) Surely Thou desirest emes in the inward parts; and in the inmost place Thou shalt make me to know chochmah.
7(9) Purge me with ezov (hyssop), and I shall be tahor; wash me, and I shall be whiter than sheleg (snow).
8(10) Make me to hear sasson and simchah; that the atzmot which Thou hast broken may rejoice.
9(11) Hide Thy face from my chatta'im, and blot out all mine avonot.
10(12) Create in me a lev tahor, O Elohim; and renew a ruach nekhon (steadfast spirit
11(13) Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Ruach Hakodesh from me.
12(14) Restore unto me the sasson of Thy salvation; and uphold me with a ruach nedivah (a willing spirit; T.N. the unwilling spirit of chet kadmon depravity is converted with a Psalm 66:6 HEH FEH FINAL KAF spiritual transformation into a willing spirit with the word craved and written in the heart, see Jer 31:31-34; 1K 2:2).
13(15) Then will I teach poshe'im (transgressors) Thy drakhim; and chatta'im (sinners) shall be converted [have a spiritual turnaround; see Isa 6:10] unto Thee.
14(16) Save me from damim (bloodguiltiness), O Elohim, Thou Elohei Teshuati; and my leshon shall sing aloud of Thy tzedakah.
15(17) Adonoi, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth Thy tehillah (praise).
16(18) For Thou desirest not zevach (sacrifice); else would I give it; Thou delightest not in olah (burnt offering).
17(19) The zivkhei Elohim are a ruach nishbarah (broken spirit); a broken and contrite lev, O Elohim, Thou wilt not despise.
18(20) Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Tziyon; build Thou the chomot Yerushalayim.
19(21) Then shalt Thou be pleased with zivkhei tzedek (true sacrifices, sacrifices of righteousness), with olah (burnt offering) and whole burnt offering; then shall they offer parim (bulls) upon Thine Mizbe'ach.
