NASB | Psalm 51:5 ¶ Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Psalm 51:5 ¶ I was brought forth in [a state of] wickedness; In sin my mother conceived me [and from my beginning I, too, was sinful]. [John 3:6; Rom 5:12; Eph 2:3] |
Subject: Our Natural Aptitude |
Bible Note: I'm not sure what Ryle, himself, meant by "born in sin." I certainly agree with his observations about the capacity and tendency of the human heart to do evil but I also observe that there is a flip-side which is also a natural product of the heart: love, of all varieties, including, for example, the love that a parent naturally has to jump into a raging stream at peril to his or her own life to attempt the rescue of a drowning child. Consideration should be given to balancing this Psalm (51) against Psalm 22:9,10, Psalm 71:5,6 and Psalm 139. Also, how do we believe the account of Job, a man described by the Lord God Himself to be "perfect" (KJV)/"blameless" (NIV/NASB) just before his ordeal began, squares with Psalm 51? Could it be that Job did not commit the heinous sin that David had committed with Bathsheba and Uriah (which might perhaps explain David's mood in writing Psalm 51--see the headnote to this Psalm)! |
