The lesson of Psalm 51 and the lesson that will change your direction away from sin and towards God is that ALL SIN is AGAINST GOD, not merely a personal defeat. If you only think that sin is just a defeat you experienced, then sin is manageable; it is just something you learn to live with.
But David saw that sin was against God (Psalm 51:4), and David took personal responsibility for his sin (35 times he repeats that it is me, I am guilty)! That is David taking God’s perspective. God says we are sinners.
Psalm 51 stands as a paradigm of prayers for the forgiveness of sins. Believers have been comforted by the fact that since David’s sins were forgiven, theirs can be too.
The 51st Psalm is a divinely inspired roadmap, clearer than any other map in the world, on the way back to God. David tells us how he found his way back from a cold, distant, and tormented heart to immediate joy, relief, peace, and security. Only God offers and provides such a blessing. The power of God is present today to heal you, if you will like David—come back to God.
