(KJV - Anglický - King James)

Ž 51, 1-19

1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against 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 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

Verš 1

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

Verš 4

Against 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.

Verš 7

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

Lv 14:4 - Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

Lv 14:6 - As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:

Nm 19:6 - And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

Nm 19:18 - And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:

Z 51 - Tento žalm je najkrajší z kajúcich žalmov, už štvrtý tohto druhu (6, 32, 38). Zachytáva dve podstatné zložky hriechu a jeho odčinenia: hriech sa tu opisuje ako urážka Boha, ktorú človek sám nemôže odčiniť, ak mu Boh nedožičí milosť. Žalm je jedným z najkrajších prejavov dokonalej ľútosti.

Z 51,7 - Náklonnosť na hriech je človeku vrodená. Katolícka tradícia tu právom nachádza náuku o dedičnom hriechu.

Z 51,9 - "Yzop - 'ezób", pyskovitá rastlina, ktorej drobné kvietky na dlhej stopke sú lievikovite rozložené; keď sa namočia, pospájajú sa a zachytia veľa tekutiny. Yzop sa namáčal do krvi alebo do vody a potom sa ním kropil ľud na znak očisťovania od hriechov (Ex 12,22; Lv 14,6-8; Nm 19,6.18; Hebr 9,19).

Z 51,16 - Zrejme tu myslí na preliatu Uriášovu krv a na krv Izraelitov v Rabat-Amon (2 Sam 11,14-25).

Z 51,18 - K 18. a 19. veršu treba dodať, že Dávid nepopiera cenu krvavých obiet, iba tvrdí, že Bohu sa viac páčia obety ľudského vnútra, ducha a srdca.

Z 51,20-21 - Tieto dva verše pridali asi neskoršie, pravdepodobne za časov babylonského zajatia.
