Psalms 51:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 51:5

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.

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.

9 Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my iniquities.

10 ^aCreate in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11 Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your ^aHoly Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your ^agenerous Spirit.

13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.

14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
The God of my salvation,
And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.

15 O Lord, open my lips,
And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.

16 For ^aYou do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering.

17 ^aThe sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.

18 Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;
Build the walls of Jerusalem.

19 Then You shall be pleased with ^athe sacrifices of righteousness,
With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.
