Psalm 51

4 *Gen. 20:6;39:9;2 Sam. 12:13;[1 Cor. 8:12] Against you, you only, have I sinned

and done what is evil *Luke 15:18,21in your sight,

*Cited Rom. 3:4so that you may be justified in your words

and blameless in your judgment.

5 Behold, *Rom. 5:12,19;Eph. 2:3;See Job 14:4;15:14I was brought forth in iniquity,

and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6 Behold, you delight in truth in *Job 38:36the inward being,

and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

7 Purge me *Ex. 12:22;Lev. 14:4;Num. 19:18;Heb. 9:19with hyssop, and I shall be clean;

*[See ver. 2above] wash me, and I shall be *Isa. 1:18whiter than snow.

8 Let me hear joy and gladness;

*Ps. 35:10let the bones *Ps. 44:19;Isa. 38:13that you have broken rejoice.

9 *Jer. 16:17Hide your face from my sins,

and *[See ver. 1above]blot out all my iniquities.
