Psalm 51

First Prayer Psalm – To the chief Musician – A psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba (2 Samuel 12).

Petitions of Repentance.

Though David penned this Psalm on a very precise occasion, yet, it is of as general use as any of David's Psalms. It is the most well-known of the repentant Psalms, and most expressive of the cares and desires of a repenting sinner. It is a pity indeed that in our devout addresses to God we should have any thing else to do than to praise God, for that is the work of heaven. However, we make added work for ourselves by our own sins and follies, because then we must come to the throne of grace in the posture of repentance, to confess our sins and claim the grace of God. If we would take these words of David, we would find no better words than in this Psalm, that is the record of David's repentance for his sin in the matter of Uriah – the greatest blemish upon his character! All the rest of his faults were nothing compared to this – it is said of him (1 Kings 15:5) that “he turned not aside from the commandment of the Lord all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.” In this Psalm, (I) He confesses his sin, verses 3-6. (II) He prays earnestly for the pardon of his sin, verses 1-2, 7, 9. (III) For peace of conscience, verses 8, 12. (IV) For grace to go and sin no more, verses 10-11, 14. (V) For liberty of access to God, verse 15. (VI) He promises to do what he could for the good of the souls of others (verse 13) and for the glory of God, verses 16-17, 19. And, lastly, concludes with a prayer for Zion and Jerusalem, verse 18. Those whose consciences charge them with any gross sin should, with a believing heart regard Jesus Christ, the Mediator, and pray this Psalm. Nay, though we have not been guilty of adultery and murder, or any the like enormous crime, yet in singing it, and praying it, we may very sensibly apply it all to ourselves, that if we do with suitable affections through Christ Jesus, will find mercy, pardon and grace for appropriate help.

Psalm 51

51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

51:2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
51:13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
51:18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
