Create
In Me A Clean Heart

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit
within me.” Psalms 51:10 NKJV
He
prays for sanctifying grace; and this every true penitent is as earnest for as
for pardon and peace.
He does not pray, "Lord, preserve me my reputation," as Saul, I have sinned, yet honour me before this people.
No; his great concern
is to get his corrupt nature changed: the sin he had been guilty of was,
(1.) An evidence of its impurity, and therefore he prays,
Create in me a clean heart, O God!
He now saw, more than
ever, what an unclean heart he had, and sadly laments it, but sees it is not in
his own power to amend it, and therefore begs of God (whose prerogative it is
to create) that he would create in him a clean heart.
He only that made the
heart can new-make it; and to his power nothing is impossible.
He created the world by
the word of his power as the God of nature, and it is by the word of his power
as the God of grace that we are clean (John 15:3), that
we are sanctified, John. 17:17.
(2.) It was the cause of its disorder, and undid much of the
good work that had been wrought in him; and therefore he prays, "Lord,
renew a right spirit within me; repair the decays of spiritual strength which
this sin has been the cause of, and set me to rights again."
Renew a constant spirit
within me, so some. He had, in this matter, discovered much inconstancy and
inconsistency with himself, and therefore he prays, "Lord, fix me for
the time to come, that I may never in like manner depart from thee." -
Matthew Henry
