Today we will look at verses twelve and thirteen of Ps. 51. In verse twelve we will examine David's plea that the Lord would restore the joy found in true salvation and that He would give the king a willing spirit to follow hard after God. Then in verse thirteen we will begin studying this third and final section of the psalm where David expresses his gratitude for the mercy and forgiveness the Lord gave the repentant king. This is a good study well worth a half hour of your time.
