Commentaries on Psalms 51:12

Uphold me with thy free spirit - Prop me up; support me with a princely spirit, one that will not stoop to a mean or base act. See on Psalm 51:10; (note).Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 7-127-12. A series of prayers for forgiveness and purifying. Purge ... hyssop--The use of this plant in the ritual (Ex 12:22; Nu 19:6, 18) suggests the idea of atonement as prominent here; "purge" refers to vicarious satisfaction (Nu 19:17-20).Read the comment
