Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 51:8. Make me to hear joy and gladness;

"Lord, I have heard nothing but groans lately, and I have made no sound but sighs; ‘Make me to hear joy and gladness’

Psalms 51:8. That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

When God makes us feel the weight of sin, it is a bone-breaking operation, he seems to strike as though he would kill; and only he that thus strikes can afterwards heal. Then he makes each fragment of the bone to sing and praise him.
