Psalm 51 gives an insight into the mind of David as he repents for the sin of adultery with Bathsheba. We sense the true remorse in David’s writings, but the question must be asked, “What then?” So often our actions have far broader and more dangerous repercussions than we what we may realize at the time. Through the symbolism of the adulterous woman and the young man lacking in judgement, Solomon teaches us in Proverbs 7 that there are roads that ultimately lead us to death. As we search out this Psalm and unpack some of this part of the life of David, we need to grapple with the severity and consequences of sin, but also examine this in the redemptive light of Jesus Christ.
