Psalm 51’s stanzas of poetry

1: A melody for David’s chief musician when Prophet Nathan is to go to him after he had gone (Ba)

to Bath-Sheba.

Be compassionate to me, Lord.

Like/for the sake of your loving kindness (khesedhekha), 

Like /for the sake of your great encompassing motherly sustenance (womb-ness – rakhamekha),

Wipe out my transgressions (Peshayi).

2: Cause me  to be washed many times from my guilt (Meavoni)

and from my sin, purify me (Thakrini) .

3: For I know my transgressions (Peshayi) and my sin (khathathi)  

is before me (negdi) continually.

4: To You, separately (only) to You (Lekha Lebedekha),

I sinned. And the evil I did in your eyes (beyenekha)

 You intend to make righteous by purifying (it) in your speaking (badebrekha)

and in your judging (beshfthekha).

5: Lo and behold,  in guilt I danced (kholalthi)

It was a sin that bred me (in) my mother (Immi)!

6: Lo and behold you delight in internal truth (being true even if unseen) and you cause me to know (Thodhiyayni)

The (this) hidden wisdom.

7: You sin-sprinkle (Thakhathayni)

me (with hyssop (ezob) – the minty brush which sprinkled blood on to the doorposts in Egypt Ex 12:22 and ceremonially sprinkled bird blood to clean in Lev 14:4-6, 49-52, Num19: 6,18)

And I am cleaned (ThHaiR is always with hyssop).

Wash me (Theykavseni)

and I am made whiter than snow.

8: Cause me to hear (Thashmiyayni)

rejoicing and happiness (vey-Simchah).

Please, please let rejoice the bones you crushed (Dikitha).

9: Hide your face from my sins (Mikhthai).

And all my punishments wipe out (Mikhay).

10: A clean heart create in me (Li),

God. Make a new stable spirit within me (b’kirbi).

11: Don’t hurl me away from your face (milpanekha).

Your Holy Spirit Don’t fetch (Thikkha)

from me (Mimeni).

12: Cause me to return to Your Jesus’ joy. Let your noble spirit rest in me (thismkeyni).

13: I will teach rebellers your ways (darkheykha)

and sinners to You (aleykha).

will return.

14: Cause bloodguilt (Hathsilaeyni)

to be stripped away from me, God, the (my) God of my salvation / Jesus (Th’shuathi).

Ring out My tongue (l’shoni)

 (of) Your Righteousness.

15: (My) Lord, my lips open (thiftha),

 and my mouth will make conspicuous a song of praise (Tehilatheykha).

16: For you don’t delight in slaughter sacrifice. And I would give you whole burnt offering (but) you do not favour it. (Thiritze)

17: God’s slaughter sacrifice is a shattered spirit, a shattered crushed heart you do not despise (Thivze).

18: Do a favour and cause good to THE  dry mountain, build the walls of Jerusalem (place from where peace shoots out)

19: then you delight in righteous slaughter sacrifices, perfect whole burnt offerings, then will be made to ascend to your altar, bulls (Fareem).
