Tehillim 51:12-19 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

12. (14) Restore unto me the sasson of Thy salvation; and uphold me with a ruach nedivah (a willing spirit; see Jer 31:31-34).

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. [T.N. This Psalm, Ps 51, teaches the doctrine of Chet Kadmon from which comes the seminal corrupting human condition necessitating hitkhadshut for all fallen Bnei Adam]
