Psalms Week 8

A Prayer of Repentance                            Psalm 51:1-12         
•         Have mercy upon me-Appeals to Mercy Before Mentioning Sin
•         O God (Elohim)-Unworthy to Utter the Covenant Name Jehovah
•         According to thy loving-kindness-Act According to One of Your Attributes
•         Multitude of thy tender mercies-Observed Goodness of God
•         Blot out my transgressions-Wipe Out or Erase
•         Wash-Refers to the Cleansing of Dirty Clothing (Is 1:18)
•         Cleanse-Refers to Defilement Caused by Touching Something Unclean or From Disease (Lev 11:32; 13:1-3)
•         Acknowledge-Recognize & Confess Are the First Steps to Repentance (1 Jn 1:9)
•         Sin is ever before me-Impossible to Forget
•         Against thee-The True Character of Sin
•         Every Sin is Mainly Against God
•         Evil in thy sight-Open Acknowledgement of Sin By Choice
•         Be justified…be clear-I Want All to Know, I Deserve To Be Judged
•         Shapen in iniquity-Sinner By Nature
•         Sin…my mother conceive me
•         Does Not Mean That Sex in Marriage is Sinful
•         Does Not Mean His Inherited Fallen Nature Was An Excuse for Disobedience
•         Does Mean He Was No Better Than Any Other Man in the Nation
•         Behold-Discovery Worth Taking Notice
•         Truth in the inward parts-Not Just Outward Ritual (Job 38:36)
•         To God, The Inward Is As Visible As The Outward
•         Hidden part…to know wisdom-Fear of the Lord (Ps 111:10)
•         Purge me with hyssop-A Plant Used in Ritual Cleansing (Heb 9:22)
•         I shall be clean-Nothing But the Blood
•         I shall be whiter than snow-Enduring Purity
•         Make me to hear joy & gladness-Experience Fellowship Once Again
•         Bones…broken may rejoice-The Crushing Pain May be Replaced by Gladness
•         Hide thy face from my sins-Make Them Unknown (Is 38:17)
•         Create-Shape, Fashion; Always By Divine Activity
•         Clean heart-New Creature (2 Cor 5:17)
•         Renew a right spirit within me-Give Him a Steadfast Spirit That Would Not Wander 
•         Cast me not away-Preservation in Service (1 Cor 9:27)
•         Take not thy Holy Spirit from me-Ineffective Ministry
•         Church Age Believers Indwelt by the Holy Spirit Permanently (Jn 14:15-18)
•         Believers Can Still Lose Holy Spirit Power
•         Restore…joy of thy salvation-Still Saved, But Sin Robbed Him of Joy
•         Uphold me-Preserve Me From Falling
•         With free spirit-David’s Own Yielded Spirit
