Catherine Parks noted eight facets of the prayerin this psalm. David defines his sin, appeals to God for mercy, avoids defensiveness, “looks to Jesus,” asks God to “break and heal” him, finds comfort in the Spirit, rejoices and proclaims the truth about God, and “resolves to obey.” One of the most disappointing aspects of a hasty, thoughtless praye...
We lose some of the weight of certain words when they are translated from Hebrew into English. For example, the Hebrew word “machah” or “blot” (v.1,9) means “to wipe out” and is the same word used in Genesis 6and 7 when God promised Noah that he would wipe out every person on the earth with the great flood.

(Psalm 51:17) David's pride has been broken (shābar).

Jan 22, 2021 · 2 Samuel 12:13 & Psalm 51. In this passage we see the effect of God’s mercy and grace upon David’s sin. However, we need to watch how David correctly repented as we had so often seen the failure of incomplete repentance with Israel’s first king, King Saul.
