Instruction

Create in me a pure heart, O God,

and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10

The psalmist, who is King David, is asking the loving and merciful God of all to create a perfectly clean heart in him, and to feed and grow his own heart in the Lord. Create means "make completely new, and sustain". This is the same word used by God in the account of when He created the world in Genesis 1:1. Pure, means, "to be bright, clean, unadulterated, uncontaminated, fully innocent, holy, moral". Heart, refers to the center of your being. The Hebrew is used for the feelings, the will and even the intellect. God, means Elohiym (pronounced el-o-heem). This is the plural form of God, referring to the Trinity. The Trinity is made up of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Elohiym means the Supreme God, the mighty and powerful God Who is Judge. He is the One to Whom we are accountable for all of our thoughts, words, and actions. Putting them together, "Make and keep in me a new and bright, clean, fully innocent, and holy center of my being. May my feelings, will, and intellect be pure! O Supreme God, Mighty and Powerful Judge over all, I depend upon You to do this, please. For I am accountable to You for all of my thoughts, words, and actions."
