Psalms for Now, Psalm 51 – My Sin

 

• Share Event

• Locations and Times

Thousands of years ago, a collection of lyrical poems were written.
This collection was originally titled, Tehillim, in Hebrew, which means “praise songs”.
Today we know them in our Bible as the Book of Psalms.
Throughout this series, we are going to study three specific Psalms in order to understand how they can impact us today.

Psalms 51:1-19NIV

1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. 5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. 6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place. 7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. 9 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. 10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. 13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you. 14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. 15 Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise. 16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. 17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise. 18 May it please you to prosper Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous, in burnt offerings offered whole; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

“What do I do with my sin?”
That’s the question David was faced with in response to the terrible sins he committed. And the question is the same for us today.

Psalm 51 is a psalm of repentance.
What is repentance? The term throughout Scripture is often translated “to turn” or “to return”. Repentance is admitting you have strayed and, in response, returning to God.

David begins with confession.
“For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me”. Psalm 51:3-5

After confessing, next comes choosing the path of repentance.
Consider the words/phrases David uses throughout Psalm 51:
-Cleanse me
-Blot out my iniquity
-Create in me a pure heart
-Renew my spirit
-Restore joy
-Sustain me
-Deliver me
