Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 51:7-15

7-15 Purge me with hyssop, with the blood of Christ applied to my soul by a lively faith, as the water of purification was sprinkled with a bunch of hyssop. The blood of Christ is called the blood of sprinkling, Hebrews 12:24. If this blood of Christ, which cleanses from all sin, cleanse us from our sin, then we shall be clean indeed, Hebrews 10:2. He asks not to be comforted, till he is first cleansed; if sin, the bitter root of sorrow, be taken away, he can pray in faith, Let me have a... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 51:10-19

New Obedience as a Fruit of Faith v. 10. Create in me a clean heart, O God, the believer's heart having been created anew in conversion, and renew a right spirit within me, establishing his heart and soul so that he was sure of his salvation, and that his mind would be centered upon God's Word, upon the performance of His will. v. 11. Cast me not away from Thy presence, for he had once felt the excruciating agony of being excluded from the mercy of God and feared a repetition of the... read more

Psalms 51:0To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:According unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity,And cleanse me from my sin.3 For I acknowledge my transgressions:And my sin is ever before me.4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,And done this evil in thy sight:That thou mightest... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Psalms 51:10-12

Psalms DAVID’S CRY FOR PURITY Psa_51:10 - Psa_51:12 . We ought to be very thankful that the Bible never conceals the faults of its noblest men. David stands high among the highest of these. His words have been for ages the chosen expression for the devotions of the holiest souls; and whoever has wished to speak longings after purity, lowly trust in God, the aspirations of love, or the raptures of devotion, has found no words of his own more natural than those of the poet-king of Israel. And... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 51:1-10

the Prayer of the Contrite Heart Psalms 51:1-10 This psalm is a ladder which climbs from the horrible pit, with its miry clay, into the heights of sunny joy, where the song breaks from the forgiven penitent. Here is the cry of the lost sheep which has been torn by briers, harried by wild dogs, drenched in the morass, but which the shepherd has found and brought home rejoicing. This path has been worn by myriads of penitents. Psalms 51:17 was written on the wall of St. Augustine’s cell. There... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 51:11-19

the Sacrifices God Accepts Psalms 51:11-19 It is not enough to be forgiven; the true penitent longs to be kept from breaking out into the old sins. He desires a clean heart that abhors the least taint of sin; a right or steadfast (r.v., margin) spirit, influenced by God’s holy Spirit, and therefore a willing spirit as well. Then shall follow the joy of salvation, success in soul-winning, humility of soul, the blessing of Zion, and the upbuilding of the Church. What glorious results are... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 51:1-19

This is the first of a number of psalms (eighteen) to which titles are prefaced which connect them with David, eight out of the number having historic references. There is a remarkable fitness in every case between the incident thus indicated and the psalm following; but whether the placing is accurate or not is open to question. This is indeed one of the great penitential psalms, being the fourth in the seven which are usually so described. It opens with a general cry for pardon that comes... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Psalms 51:1-19

A Penitent's Prayer Psalms 51:1-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We will set forth, by way of introduction, the story of David's sin and of how he was reproved by Nathan, the Prophet. We may also emphasize how David had groaned within himself for two miserable years. 1. The story of David's sin. David had become enamored with Bath-sheba, who was wife to Uriah. In this he sinned grievously. God had given him wives who should have been his full joy and satisfaction. Bath-sheba was the wife of another man... read more
