These Psalms are intense! We begin in Psalm 50 where Israel begins to be confronted regarding their nations sins. This is the judgment leading to the 400 years of silence and culminates in their eventual rejection of their Messiah. This warning is very somber!
Psalm 51 is one of the most heart felt examples of an inwardly defeated man who has come to face the absolute worst within him. The words themselves are practically wet with sweat, as David turns to God for either forgiveness or rejection. The response of David when confronted by Nathan offers one of the most stark comparisons between a genuine heart of repentance and a heart of religious pretense when compared with the heart response of Saul when confronted about his sin by Samuel.
Comparatively Saul’s sins seem almost trivial in that they were able to be righted, while the actions and results of David’s sins were perminent. Yet, God forgives David and rejects Saul. There is MUCH in this Psalm that offers instruction to us in our sin and about God Who alone can forgive.
Psalms 52 and 53 address the beginning of Saul’s unjust pursuit of David’ life and it’s perils and a contemplation of David regarding the heart of the aethiest.
