PSALM 51 the MISERERE: PRAYER of REPENTANCE (The New American Bible Revised Edition) 1 for the Leader. a Psalm of David, 2 When PSALM 51 THE MISERERE: PRAYER OF REPENTANCE (The New American Bible Revised Edition) 1 For the leader. A psalm of David, 2 when Nathan the prophet came to him after he had gone into Bathsheba. 3 Have mercy on me, God, in accord with your merciful love; in your abundant compassion blot out my transgressions. 4 Thoroughly wash away my guilt; and from my sin cleanse me. 5 For I know my transgressions; my sin is always before me. 6 Against you, you alone have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your eyes So that you are just in your word, and without reproach in your judgment. 7 Behold, I was born in guilt, in sin my mother conceived me.[b] 8 Behold, you desire true sincerity; and secretly you teach me wisdom. 9 Cleanse me with hyssop,[c] that I may be pure; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 10 You will let me hear gladness and joy; the bones you have crushed will rejoice. II 11 Turn away your face from my sins; blot out all my iniquities. 12 A clean heart create for me, God; renew within me a steadfast spirit. 13 Do not drive me from before your face, nor take from me your holy spirit. 14 Restore to me the gladness of your salvation; uphold me with a willing spirit. 15 I will teach the wicked your ways, that sinners may return to you. 16 Rescue me from violent bloodshed, God, my saving God, and my tongue will sing joyfully of your justice. 17 Lord, you will open my lips; and my mouth will proclaim your praise. 18 For you do not desire sacrifice[d] or I would give it; a burnt offering you would not accept. 19 My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit; a contrite, humbled heart, O God, you will not scorn. III 20 [e]Treat Zion kindly according to your good will; build up the walls of Jerusalem. 21 Then you will desire the sacrifices of the just, burnt offering and whole offerings; then they will offer up young bulls on your altar. .

  • The David of Psalm 51: Reading Psalm 51 in Light of Psalm 50 FREDERICK J
    Word & World Volume 23, Number 4 Fall 2003 The David of Psalm 51: Reading Psalm 51 in Light of Psalm 50 FREDERICK J. GAISER avid, according to Sirach, “sang praise with all his heart, and he loved his Maker.” He placed singers before the altar, to make sweet melody with their voices. He gave beauty to the festivals, and arranged their times throughout the year, while they praised God’s holy name, and the sanctuary resounded from early morning. (Sir 47:9–10) Biblical historians will rightly have to wrestle with the several anachronisms in that passage, but the inheritors of the tradition will rightly hear its resounding witness to the connection between David and worship, David and song, David and psalms.1 1Sirach’s view of David’s role in Israel’s worship and psalmody is apparently derived from the Chronicler. See especially 1 Chr 16:1–43; 23:2–5, 30–32. With clear thematic and literary connections, Ps 50 sets up Ps 51, providing the accusation and call to repentance that produce the confession of David and Israel in Ps 51. Reading Ps 51 in the light of Ps 50 enhances its meaning for us, call- ing us to task for our failures and our attempts to manipulate God to our ad- vantage while announcing the steadfast love of God that promises genuine renewal. 382 Copyright © 2003 by Word & World, Luther Seminary, Saint Paul, Minnesota. All rights reserved. The David of Psalm 51 Israel made these connections, and the church accepted them. The Psalter, in the tradition, is David’s book.2 Sirach tells us more about David, however: “The Lord took away his sins, and exalted his power forever; he gave him a covenant of kingship and a glorious throne in Israel” (Sir 47:11).

  • The Penitential Psalms 1
    THE PENITENTIAL PSALMS 1. Psalm 51 “Lord Have Mercy” ASH WEDNESDAY March 6, 2019 Rev. Jeffrey H. Rickards In preparation for Lent and a sermon series on the Penitential Psalms, I picked up and read Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s last published book before his imprisonment by the Nazis, The Psalms: Prayerbook of the Bible. For me, Bonhoeffer is a true descendant pastorally and theologically of Martin Luther. Like Luther, Bonhoeffer loved the Psalms, and saw them as a model for prayer. Bonhoeffer begins his pocket-sized book by reflecting on how the Psalms are prayers that God has given us in His Word to pray back to Him, just as Jesus taught us the Lord’s Prayer. I was particularly drawn to Bonhoeffer’s chapter simply titled “Guilt,” featuring the so-called “Seven Penitential or Repentance Psalms,” numbers 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143. This Lenten Season, we will sing, and I will preach on six of these psalms, starting with Psalm 51, and the plea, “Lord, have mercy on me” (v. 1). Bonhoeffer also calls these seven penitential psalms “the Pauline Psalms” for the way in which they “lead us to the confession of guilt and direct our complete confidence to the forgiving grace of God.” The Reformation theology of Martin Luther affirms that God’s gracious love, through Jesus Christ, removes our sins and creates us anew. Thus, for us Lutherans, the confession of sin and the assurance of pardon are weekly rituals in most of our churches. Yet rarely do we lift up these elements to be contemplated and celebrated.

  • Paul's Use of Psalms: Quotations, Allusions
    Faculty of Theology University of Helsinki PAUL’S USE OF PSALMS QUOTATIONS, ALLUSIONS, AND PSALM CLUSTERS IN ROMANS AND FIRST CORINTHIANS Marika Pulkkinen DOCTORAL DISSERTATION To be presented for public discussion with the permission of the Faculty of Theology of the University of Helsinki, in Athena building, room 107, on the 8th of May, 2020 at 12 o’clock. Helsinki 2020 ISBN 978-951-51-6040-9 (pbk.) ISBN 978-951-51-6041-6 (PDF) Unigrafia Helsinki 2020 Abstract This study examines how Paul uses psalms and how this is related to the uses and status of the psalms in the late Second Temple Judaism. The study focuses on clusters of explicit and subtle references to psalms in Paul’s Letter to the Romans and his First Letter to the Corinthians. Furthermore, the study covers the psalm quotations paired together or with another scriptural text and a selection of four individually occurring quotations from a psalm. The following questions are answered in this study: What was the status of psalms within Jewish scriptures for Paul? What does their use as different clusters tell us of the source of Paul’s citations and exegesis of the psalms? How do the individually occurring quotations from psalms differ from quotation clusters or pairs of quotations? What kind of scriptural texts does Paul combine when quoting from or referring to the psalms, and which interpretive technique enables him to do so? The study is divided into two main parts—Part I: Psalms in the Late Second Temple Period; and Part II: Paul’s Use of Psalms.
