Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 51:1-19

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Psalms 51:1-19 .David is surely one of the most outstanding characters of the Old Testament. He was greatly hated and greatly loved. He had the capacity to inspire tremendous emotions in people, on both ends of the spectrum. He is always talking about his enemies that are trying to do him in. But yet, there was a great number of people who really followed David with a great devotion. David was called a man after God's own heart. And this appellation was given... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 51:1-19

The title of this psalm, supported by the whole weight of rabbinical authority, and by the LXX, refers it to the repentance and recovery of David, “when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.” This application of the psalm has been disputed by some modern critics and commentators, chiefly because they think Psalms 51:4; Psalms 51:18-19, are not applicable to David’s complicated sin, and to the existing state of Jerusalem, whose walls were not then cast down. But... read more

Psalms 51:1-19Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness. The fifty-first psalmA darker guilt you will scarcely find--kingly power abused--worst passions yielded to. Yet this psalm breathes from a spirit touched with the finest sensibilities of spiritual feeling. Two sides of our mysterious twofold being here. Something in us near to hell; something strangely near to God. It is good to observe this, that we rightly estimate: generously of fallen humanity; moderately of highest... read more

Psalms 51:8-10Make me to hear of joy and gladness, that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice.The depression of believersThis is the language of David at a period of trouble. His soul was depressed. He was fully conscious of his sins, but he was not conscious of forgiveness. He pleads with God for pardon, and, sensible of indwelling sin, he pleads for deliverance from its dreadful power. We can readily perceive some reasons why such depressions of mind should sometimes exist.1. There are... read more

Psalms 51:9-10Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.God’s pardoning graceThis psalm is made up partly of confessions and acknowledgments of his great crimes, partly of petitions and supplications, wherein he intercedes for pardon, and prays for forgiveness. And this was but necessary to complete the duty of confession, which without this additional act of devotion might have looked rather like a daring defiance of Divine justice; God having nowhere promised us His pardon,... read more

Psalms 51:10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.A clean heartI. The blessing asked for. It may refer to two distinct graces, conversion or entire sanctification. For when a man is converted there is still in him an inclination to evil, the struggle between the flesh and the spirit: his soul is not altogether pure. He has need of a more complete sanctification, of deliverance from all sin. And to this our text may be referred. A clean heart is one purified by... read more

Psalms 51:11Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.A most needful prayer concerning the Holy SpiritThis psalm is, beyond all others, a photograph of penitent David. You may have seen that interesting slab of stone which bears on its surface indications of the fall of raindrops in a primeval shower; this psalm preserves the mark of David’s tear-drops, for the inspection and instruction of succeeding generations. Take our text--I. As the cry of a penitent child... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 51:10

Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Ver. 10. Create in me a clean heart, O God ] His heart was woefully soiled with the filth of sin and the work of grace interrupted; he therefore prayeth God to interpose and begin it again, to set him up once more, to rekindle those sparks of the spirit that lay almost quite smothered; to put forth his Almighty power for that purpose, to farm that Augaean stable of his heart; to sanctify him throughout in spirit,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 51:11

Psa 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Ver. 11. Cast me not away from thy presence ] Deprive me not of communion with thee and comfort from thee; for that is a piece of hell torments, 2 Thessalonians 1:9 . Cain’s punishment, which possibly David might here mind, as being guilty of murder; and Saul’s loss of the kingly spirit, 1 Samuel 15:15 , might make him pray on. And take not thine holy Spirit from me ] David knew that he had done enough to make... read more
