7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
7 Soak me in your laundry and I'll come out clean, scrub me and I'll have a snow-white life.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
7 Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 51:7
Commentary on Psalm 51:7-15
(Read Psalm 51:7-15)
Purge me with hyssop, with the blood of Christ applied to my soul by a lively faith, as the water of purification was sprinkled with a bunch of hyssop. The blood of Christ is called the blood of sprinkling, Galatians 5:1. It is the Spirit of adoption spoken to the heart. Those to whom God is the God of salvation, he will deliver from guilt; for the salvation he is the God of, is salvation from sin. We may therefore plead with him, Lord, thou art the God of my salvation, therefore deliver me from the dominion of sin. And when the lips are opened, what should they speak but the praises of God for his forgiving mercy?
