Psalms 51:8-9

Psalms 51:8-9. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

I do not want to hear it unless thou make me to hear it. I would not .be comforted unless thou comfort me. Dread above everything, dear friends, false comfort-false judgments of yourselves-high notions about your own attainments-grand ideas of your own standing in yourselves.
