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.

It is not merely that I sinned, but I am sin. I am a lump of sin-a heap of iniquity-by nature so. It is not merely in me, but it is me-my very self. It is in my blood, my bones, my marrow. O God, canst thou cleanse me from this?
