WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU'VE BLOWN IT (Psalm 51)
Psalm 51 1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.
II. A Change of Heart
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God. 2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. 7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
III. A Change of Direction
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 12 and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me. 13 Restore to me the joy of your salvation. 15 O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.
