Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 51:7-12.


Psalms 51:12

_ _ free spirit — “thy” ought not to be supplied, for the word “free” is, literally, “willing,” and “spirit” is that of David. “Let a willing spirit uphold me,” that is, with a soul willingly conformed to God’s law, he would be preserved in a right course of conduct.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 51:7-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 51:12

The joy — The comfortable sense of thy saving grace, promised and vouchsafed to me, both for my present and everlasting salvation. Free — Or, ingenuous, or liberal, or princely. Which he seems to oppose to his own base and illiberal and disingenuous and servile spirit, which he had discovered in his wicked practices: a spirit, which may free me from the bondage of sin, and enable me chearfully to run the way of God's precepts.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 51:12

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me [with thy] (k) free spirit.

(k) Which may assure me that I am drawn out of the slavery of sin.
