Psalms 51:6 - John Wesley's Notes

Psalms 51:6

4 ^aAgainst You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil ^bin Your sight—
^cThat You may be found just¹ when You speak,
And blameless when You judge.

5 ^aBehold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.

6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

7 ^aPurge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be ^bwhiter than snow.

8 Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken ^amay rejoice.

Psalms 51:6

Truth - Uprightness of heart; and this may be added; as an aggravation of the sinfulness of original corruption, because it is contrary to the holy nature and will of God, which requires rectitude of heart: and, as an aggravation of his actual sin, that it was committed against that knowledge, which God had wrote in his heart.
