Bible Question: what is steadfast in this verse |
Bible Answer: Hello Buck and welcome to the Forum! That's a great question on Ps. 51:10. The ESV renders it: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." Young's Literal Translation reads: "A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me." C.H. Spurgeon in his work, The Treasury of David offers these comments on verse 10: "Renew a right spirit within me. It was there once, Lord, put it there again. The law on my heart has become like an inscription hard to read: new write it, gracious Maker. Remove the evil as I have entreated thee; but, O replace it with good, lest into my swept, empty, and garnished heart, from which the devil has gone out for a while, seven other spirits more wicked than the first should enter and dwell. The two sentences make a complete prayer. Create what is not there at all; renew that which is there, but in a sadly feeble state." Following his Exposition is the EXPLANATORY NOTES AND QUAINT SAYINGS: "Ver. 10. A right spirit. A steadfast spirit, i.e., a mind steady in following the path of duty. French and Skinner." I hope this will be of help. BradK |
