Psalm 51 is deeply penitential, and we could fall into the trap of wallowing in our sin, but David Brooke points out that this is the Psalm that gives that great cry "O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall proclaim your praise". Don't wallow, he says - dwell on the goodness of God, and let the song of praise well up.
