Salmos 51
Vernon McGee - “I need a new heart,” David said. “Create in me a new heart,” and the word create means “out of nothing.” In other words, there was nothing in David’s heart that God could use. He was not asking for renovation or reformation. He was asking for something new. Sometimes we hear the invitation, “Give God your heart.” May I ask you, “What do you think God wants with that old dirty, filthy heart of yours?” He doesn’t want it. God is not asking anybody to give Him his heart. He wants to give you a new one. That’s what He wants to do. (Thru the Bible Commentary)
Salmos 51
Vernon McGee - The Lord Jesus went to dinner in the home of a Pharisee. A woman who had been saved came in there from the street. But Simon the Pharisee only knew her in the past, and he would have passed by on the other side rather than meet her on the street. But according to the custom of the day, when he had guests she had a right to come into his house and even stand and observe. She got to the place where our Lord was reclining (they used couches rather than chairs in that day), and she stood at His feet behind Him, weeping. She washed His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them with ointment. Simon, His host, became critical. He began to find fault. And our Lord really rebuked him. He said, "When I came here you didn't even furnish me water to wash my feet. You didn't even extend to me the common courtesies. But this woman has not ceased to wash my feet with her tears. She's been forgiven. You have not" (Luke 7:44, paraphrase mine). Then He said to him,"...Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little" (Luke 7:47). We think we are all right. My friend, God cannot clear the guilty, and He says you and I are guilty before Him. The only way he could save you and me is to give His Son to die. For the worst sinner in the world that is all that is needed. And this is the way you and I are saved also. "...To whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little." To whom much is forgiven -- oh, he loves much. THOUGHT What is the measure of your love? Well, it is your estimate of your own sins. Is it possible that you do not confess your sins? When was the last time you wept over your sins? When was the last time you cried out in the night because of your failures? Thank God, there is forgiveness with Him. But there needs to be confession on our part. Righteous (06664)(tsedeq from root "sdq" - to be straight, norm) the basic idea is that which conforms to an ethical or moral standard. Tsedeq is noun meaning a right relation to an ethical or legal standard. W E Vine - Exegetes have spilled much ink in an attempt to understand contextually the words ṣedeq and ṣedāqâ. The conclusions of the researchers indicate a twofold significance. On the one hand, the relationships among people and of a man to his God can be described as ṣedeq, supposing the parties are faithful to each other's expectations. It is a relational word. In Jacob's proposal to Laban, Jacob used the word Ṣedāqâ to indicate the relationship. The kjv gives the following translation of Ṣedāqâ: "So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face…" (Gen. 30:33). The nasb gives the word "righteousness" in a marginal note, but prefers the word "honesty" in the text itself. The neb reads "fair offer" instead. Finally, the niv has: "And my honesty [Ṣedāqâ] will testify for me in the future, whenever you check on the wages you have paid me." On the other hand, "righteousness" as an abstract or as the legal status of a relationship is also present in the Old Testament. The locus classicus is Gen. 15:6: "… And he [the Lord] counted it to him [Abraham] for righteousness." Regrettably, in a discussion of the dynamic versus the static sense of the word, one or the other wins out, though both elements are present. The books of Psalms and of the prophets particularly use the sense of "righteousness" as a state; cf. "Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged" (Isa. 51:1); and "My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust" (Isa. 51:5). The neb exhibits this tension between dynamic and static in the translation of ṣedeq: "My victory [instead of righteousness] is near, my deliverance has gone forth and my arm shall rule the nations; for me coasts and islands shall wait and they shall look to me for protection" (Isa. 51:5). Thus, in the discussion of the two nouns below, the meaning lie between the dynamic and the static. Gilbrant - The idea of "what is right" is seen in Prov. 1:3, as one of the words for what the study of the biblical proverbs should enable a person to be. It refers to God's standard of right conduct. It can refer to justice (Job 8:3). The Hebrew language uses nouns like this in constructions where we would translate them as adjectives or adverbs. Leviticus 19:36 calls for "weights of righteousness" or "just weights." Deuteronomy 16:18 says the judges are to judge the people with a judgment of righteousness or a "just judgment." Then, in v. 20, God commands them to follow "that which is altogether just," which is an emphatic way to call for acting justly or making a strong effort to do what is truly right. Psalm 96:13 says the Lord judges the world "with righteousness." All God's decisions and actions in governing the world are according to his holy character, which is revealed in the righteous standards of his Word (Ps. 48:10; Isa. 11:5; 42:21). When God intervenes in the world in just decisions (HED #5122) in dealing with sin, "The world will learn righteousness" (Isa. 26:9). People may refer to their own righteousness, meaning their innocence or integrity (Job 6:29; Ps. 18:20-24). Living God's way, according to his standards, is referred to in Ps. 23:3. It is the opposite of wickedness (Ecc. 7:15), as well as of sin and evil (Ezek. 3:20). David called on the "God of my righteousness" (Ps. 4:1) or the God "who vindicates me" (BDB, 841). Righteousness can refer to a gift of acceptance or new status with God (Isa. 62:2; cf. HED #6930). In many passages, it refers to both the gift of right relationship with God and the godly lifestyle that flows out of it (Ps.118:19; Isa. 1:26; 61:3; Dan. 9:24). The righteousness of God may be summarized as his holy character in action, in specific application, to deal with sin and accomplish his salvation purpose. Thus, all He does flows from his character and purposes (Isa. 42:6, 21). These righteous purposes are at work behind history (Isa. 41:2). All of his glorious reputation can be referred to as his righteousness (Ps. 97:6). He deals with sin both positively and negatively. Positively, God cares about people and provides salvation. He intervenes on the behalf of his people, those who trust in Him. Righteousness is often parallel to God's salvation (Ps. 35:28; Isa. 45:8; 51:5; 62:1). Ultimately, the Lord provides the substitute for the punishment of everyone's unrighteousness (later this provision is revealed as his Son). He offers the gift of righteousness or right standing with Him, a restored relationship by grace through faith in this coming Savior. Jeremiah 23:6 calls the Davidic Messiah "THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." God also deals with sin negatively, punishing all who cling to it and do not repent and accept his gift (Jer. 11:20).
