Psalm 51
51:1 «To
the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet
a
came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.» Have mercy upon me, O God,
b
according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender
mercies blot out my transgressions.
(
a) To reprove him, because he had committed
horrible sins, and lain in the same without repentance more then a whole year.
(
b) As his sins were many and great, so he
requires that God would give him the feeling of his excellent and abundant
mercies.
51:2 Wash me
c
throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
(
c) My sins strike so fast in me, that I have
need of some singular kind of washing.
51:3 For I
d
acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is] ever before me.
(
d) My conscience accuses me so, that I can have
no rest till I am reconciled.
51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and
done [this] evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou
e
speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest.
(
e) When you give sentence against sinners, they
must confess you to be just, and themselves sinners.
51:6 Behold, thou
f
desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden [part] thou shalt make me
to know wisdom.
(
f) He confesses that God who loves pureness of
heart, may justly destroy man, who by nature is a sinner much more him whom he
had instructed in his heavenly wisdom.
51:8 Make me to hear
g
joy and gladness; [that] the
h bones
[which] thou hast broken may rejoice.
(
g) He means God's comfortable mercies toward
repentant sinners.
(
h) By the bones he understands all strength of
soul and body, which by cares and mourning are consumed.
51:10 i
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
(
i) He confesses that when God's Spirit is cold
in us, to have it again revived, is as a new creation.
51:12 Restore unto me the joy
of thy salvation; and uphold me [with thy]
k
free spirit.
(
k) Which may assure me that I am drawn out of
the slavery of sin.
51:13 [Then] will I teach transgressors thy
l
ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
(
l) He promises to endeavour that others by his
example may turn to God.
51:14 Deliver me from
m
bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall sing
aloud of thy righteousness.
(
m) From the murder of Uriah and the others who
were slain with him, (
2 Samuel
11:17).
51:15 O Lord,
n
open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
(
n) By giving me opportunity to praise you, when
you will forgive my sins.
51:17 The sacrifices of God
[are] a
o broken spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
(
o) Which is a wounding of the heart, proceeding
from faith, which seeks God for mercy.
51:18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto
p
Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
(
p) He prays for the whole Church, because
through his sin it was in danger of God's judgment.
51:19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the
sacrifices of
q righteousness, with
burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon
thine altar.
(
q) That is, just and lawful, applied to the
right end, which is the exercise of faith and repentance.
