Psalm 51:15 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 51:15

O Lord, open thou my lips
The Targum adds, "in the late"; which were shut with a sense of sin, with shame of it, and sorrow for it; and though they were in some measure opened in prayer to God for the forgiveness of it, as appears by various petitions in this psalm, yet he still wanted a free spirit and boldness at the throne of grace, which the believer has when his heart is sprinkled from an evil conscience by the blood of Christ; and especially his lips were shut as to praise and thanksgiving; the guilt of sin had sealed up his lips, that he could not sing the praises of God as he had formerly done; and only a discovery of pardoning grace could open them, and for this he prays:

and my mouth shall show forth thy praise:
the praise of his mercy, grace, goodness, truth, and faithfulness, in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; see ( Psalms 103:1-3 ) .

Psalm 51:15 In-Context

13 Então ensinarei os teus caminhos aos transgressores,para que os pecadores se voltem para ti.

14 Livra-me da culpa dos crimes de sangue,ó Deus, Deus da minha salvação!E a minha língua aclamará a tua justiça.

15 Ó Senhor, dá palavras aos meus lábios,e a minha boca anunciará o teu louvor.

16 Não te deleitas em sacrifíciosnem te agradas em holocaustos, senão eu os traria.

17 Os sacrifícios que agradam a Deus são um espírito quebrantado;um coração quebrantado e contrito,ó Deus, não desprezarás.
