Psalms 51:6 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Truth. — Or, faithfulness.

Inward parts. — The Hebrew word is found only once besides (Job 38:36), where it is in parallelism with “heart.”

The sincerity and true self-discernment which God requires can only come of spiritual insight, or, as the last clause states it, divine instruction.

Psalms 51:6

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
