Psalms 51:10

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 51:10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Here the truly quickened man speaks. It is not salvation from punishment he asks for, but salvation from the power of sin. He wants a new heart. He wants to have removed from him the defiling power of sin over his affections; "Create in me a clean heart, O God." It will need the Creator to do it. Only the God who made the world can make me what I ought to be.

Great Creator, put thy hand to this work: ‘Create in me a glean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.’"
