50:1 Unto the end, a psalm of David,
In finem. Psalmus David,

50:2 when Nathan, the prophet, came to him, after he had sinned with Bethsabee. [2 Kings xii.]
cum venit ad eum Nathan propheta, quando intravit ad Bethsabee.

50:3 Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my iniquity.
Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam; et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.

50:4 Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea, et a peccato meo munda me.

50:5 For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco, et peccatum meum contra me est semper.

50:6 To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee; that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.
Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci; ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris.

50:7 For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.
Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum, et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.

50:8 For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti; incerta et occulta sapientiæ tuæ manifestasti mihi.

50:9 Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.

50:10 To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness, and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
Auditui meo dabis gaudium et lætitiam, et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.

50:11 Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis, et omnes iniquitates meas dele.

50:12 Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis.

50:13 Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Ne projicias me a facie tua, et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.

50:14 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
Redde mihi lætitiam salutaris tui, et spiritu principali confirma me.

50:15 I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee.
Docebo iniquos vias tuas, et impii ad te convertentur.

50:16 Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice.
Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meæ, et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam.

50:17 O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
Domine, labia mea aperies, et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.

50:18 For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt-offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique; holocaustis non delectaberis.

50:19 A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus; cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.

50:20 Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good-will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion, ut ædificentur muri Jerusalem.

50:21 Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt-offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiæ, oblationes et holocausta; tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.
