Create in me a pure heart

“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” –Psalm‬ ‭51:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Praye

#create in me a pure heart"

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

This verse is so beautiful, but let's meditate on what it actually says. What is a 'pure heart'? Pure is blameless, faultless, innocent, clean. But we also say 'pure joy,' 'pure luck,' 'pure science,' 'pure leisure'... In this context 'pure' means 'absolute,' 'sheer,' 'concentrated.' Do you think this meaning is applicable to this verse: 'Create in me a pure heart,' - could imply 'Create in me a heart capable of strong feelings, a heart alive and totally loving.'

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. (Psalm51:10 NIV)
