How to Sing Psalm 51

Psalm 51 Helps Us Sing In the middle of Scripture is a hymnal. This hymnal is full of psalms meant to be sung. The psalms proclaim glorious truths about God. They help us understand what it means to be truly human. They sing of the coming Christ and our need for his salvation. And they lead us to respond to these truths through every season of the soul. From the mountaintop of joy through the valley of sorrow, the book of Psalms teaches us how to sing through it all. But how can we sing when sin seems to silence our song? Psalm 51 helps us sing even then. David wrote this psalm at the lowest point of his life. He had sinned against everyone he knew, and above all, his God. His transgressions struck a deadly match, setting ablaze the life God had given him, leaving it in ruins at his feet. In this moment of utter despair, he began to sing. And the lyrics of his song show us how we too might sing through the brokenness of our sin and experience forgiveness in the Savior.
