Psalmus 50 (51)

Psalm 50 (51)

Miserere mei, Deus

Have mercy on me, my God

Renovari spiritu mentis vestræ et induere novum hominem (Eph 4, 23-24).

Renew your minds and put on the new man (Eph 4:23-24).

Miserére mei, Deus, * secúndum misericórdiam tuam;

Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy.

et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum * dele iniquitátem meam.

And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.

Amplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea * et a peccáto meo munda me.

Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco, * et peccátum meum contra me est semper.

For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.

Tibi, tibi soli peccávi * et malum coram te feci,

6 To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee:

ut iustus inveniáris in senténtia tua * et æquus in iudício tuo.

that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.

Ecce enim in iniquitáte generátus sum, * et in peccáto concépit me mater mea.

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

Ecce enim veritátem in corde dilexísti * et in occúlto sapiéntiam manifestásti mihi.

For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.

Aspérges me hyssópo, et mundábor; * lavábis me, et super nivem dealbábor.

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

Audíre me fácies gáudium et lætítiam, * et exsultábunt ossa, quæ contrivísti.

To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.

Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis * et omnes iniquitátes meas dele.

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

Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, * et spíritum firmum ínnova in viscéribus meis.

Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.

Ne proícias me a fácie tua * et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me.

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

Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui * et spíritu promptíssimo confírma me.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.

Docébo iníquos vias tuas, * et ímpii ad te converténtur.

I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee.

Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ, * et exsultábit língua mea iustítiam tuam.

Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice.

Dómine, lábia mea apéries, * et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.

O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise.

Non enim sacrifício delectáris, * holocáustum, si ófferam, non placébit.

For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.

Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus, * cor contrítum et humiliátum, Deus, non despícies.

A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion, * ut ædificéntur muri Ierúsalem.

Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.

Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium iustítiæ, oblatiónes et holocáusta; * tunc impónent super altáre tuum vítulos.

Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.
