Psalms 51:5

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 51:5. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

"If I had not been bad, I should not have acted so badly. The streams betray the fountain. If I had not been wicked at the core, I should not have acted so wickedly; but the evil tree has brought forth evil fruit." It is well when actual sin leads us to feel the depth of our original and natural sin.
