Psalms 51:17-18

Psalms 51:17-18. A broken and a contrite heart, O God thou will not despise. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

Now that he feels himself forgiven, be begins to pray for the good estate of the Church of God and the Lord’s people everywhere. We cannot do that when sin is breaking our bones; but when we get peace and rest, then the first instinct of the newborn life is to pray for God’s kingdom "Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem."
