Salmos 51
Pink reminds us that…Now it is the duty of the Christian, and part of the task which God has set him, to see to it that this sense of the exceeding sinfulness of sin be not lost. He is to labor daily that his heart be duly affected by the heinousness of self-will and self-love. He is steadfastly to resist every effort of Satan to make him pity himself, think lightly of wrongdoing, or excuse himself in the same. (Practical Christianity) Charles Horne comments…The soul, still restless and uneasy, reiterates her request, that God would not only cease to behold her iniquity for the present, as a man who turneth away his face from a writing, but that he would not behold it more, as a man who blotteth out what is written, so that it can never be read again. (Psalm 51 Commentary) Through the prophet Isaiah God says… I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins. (Isaiah 43:25) I have wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud, And your sins like a heavy mist. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you. (Isaiah 44:22) Comment: God is always willing and waiting to forgive sins, to purge iniquities, and to blot out transgressions. Ultimately He is waiting for us to cry out like David for forgiveness. David Jeremiah…Why blot? Most sins were handled in the manner of transactions. If you committed some offense, you could perform some kind of sacrifice to make atonement. But there were two sins with no remedy: adultery and murder. David had committed both of these, and they were written in God’s great book in red letters. There was nothing David could do, no sacrifice to make, no atonement to seek. The accusing page was beyond his reach. All he could do was fall upon the mercy of God to blot out that red ink. Wipe it away completely, Lord! No priest, of course, could do that. Only God had the solvent, then and now. (Slaying the giants in your life Hide (imperative) (05641) (cathar) means to hide with the thought of protection, to hide by covering Blot out (imperative) (04229) (machah) (Also used in Ps 51:1) means to stroke or rub, erase, abolish, destroy, wipe out. (First use = Ge 6:7) The Septuagint (Lxx) translates machah with the verb exaleipho (word study) which means literally to completely wipe off as when a blackboard is erased. Some of the uses in Scripture retain the literal meaning but most uses speak of a figurative blotting out or wiping off. The idea in all the uses is to cause something to cease by obliterating or eliminating any evidence. A number of uses in both OT (Septuagint) and the NT use this verb to describe the blotting out or wiping away of sins. In Thy Great Loving-Kindness, Lord In thy great loving-kindness, Lord, Be merciful to me; In thy compassions great blot out All my iniquity. Oh, wash me thoroughly from sin; From all my guilt me cleanse: For my transgressions I confess; I ever see my sins. All my iniquities blot out, My sin hide from thy view. Create a clean heart, Lord, in me A spirit right renew. And from thy gracious presence, Lord, Oh, cast me not away; Thy Holy Spirit utterly Take not from me, I pray. The joy which thy salvation brings Again to me restore; With thy free Spirit, oh, do thou Upholds me evermore. Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

The worm gets into the apple when the mother worm lays her egg in the apple blossom, which then hatches in the "heart" of the apple. That's what sin is like -- it begins at the core of our being, our heart, and "eats" its deceptive, destructive way into our thoughts, our words and our deeds. Do not be deceived by sin -- even the "little worms" that are not dealt with quickly can cause big destruction! David confessed some "big worms" to God, but in so doing he gives us a beautiful template by which we may confess any and all of our "worms" (big or little, they are all "big" to a holy God) and seek His favor to create in us a clean heart. Hallelujah for the Cross of Christ, which makes confession, contrition, cleansing and creation of a new heart our ever present path to restored fellowship, joy and peace in Christ. God - Hebrew word Elohim, the Name of God which is intimately linked with Creation. Some commentaries seem to suggest that David was asking God to give him his initial salvation experience but I agree with Derek Kidner who observes that "David’s early history and the language of Ps 51:11, 12 show that this is not an unregenerate man’s request, but a prayer for holiness (cf. Ps 51:11b)." Boice goes on to explain that "It is an important part of dealing with sin that we confess it and experience the cleansing of God on the basis of Christ’s atoning sacrifice. But in addition to this we need to be remade if we are to keep from sin and live to God. A great problem with many Christians is that they seem to be satisfied continuing to live as they always have, even at times much as they lived before they became believers. What we need is the creation of a new heart and its constant renewal." (Genesis: An Expositional Commentary) J

Pink reminds us that…Now it is the duty of the Christian, and part of the task which God has set him, to see to it that this sense of the exceeding sinfulness of sin be not lost. He is to labor daily that his heart be duly affected by the heinousness of self-will and self-love. He is steadfastly to resist every effort of Satan to make him pity himself, think lightly of wrongdoing, or excuse himself in the same. (Practical Christianity) Spurgeon…Hide thy face from my sins. Do not look at them; be at pains not to see them. They thrust themselves in the way; but, Lord, refuse to behold them, lest if thou consider them, thine anger burn, and I die. Blot out all mine iniquities. He repeats the prayer of the first verse with the enlargement of it by the word "all." All repetitions are not "vain repetitions." Souls in agony have no space to find variety of language: pain has to content itself with monotones. David's face was ashamed with looking on his sin, and no diverting thoughts could remove it from his memory; but he prays the Lord to do with his sin what he himself cannot. If God hide not his face from our sin, he must hide it forever from us; and if he blot not out our sins, he must blot our names out of his book of life. Charles Horne comments… The soul, still restless and uneasy, reiterates her request, that God would not only cease to behold her iniquity for the present, as a man who turneth away his face from a writing, but that he would not behold it more, as a man who blotteth out what is written, so that it can never be read again. (Psalm 51 Commentary) In Thy Great Loving-Kindness, Lord In thy great loving-kindness, Lord, Be merciful to me; In thy compassions great blot out All my iniquity. Oh, wash me thoroughly from sin; From all my guilt me cleanse: For my transgressions I confess; I ever see my sins. All my iniquities blot out, My sin hide from thy view. Create a clean heart, Lord, in me A spirit right renew. And from thy gracious presence, Lord, Oh, cast me not away; Thy Holy Spirit utterly Take not from me, I pray. The joy which thy salvation brings Again to me restore; With thy free Spirit, oh, do thou Upholds me evermore.
