Psalms 51:12

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 51:12. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

David longs for his Lord to some back to him. When God flogs his children, they still cling to him, and they cry to him. They do not wish to run away, and hide themselves from him. No, their only comfort is to weep upon their Father’s bosom, and to wait for the kiss of forgiveness from his lips. So David prays, "Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit."
