Mazmur 51:10

51:10 Create for me a pure heart, O God! ¹ 

Renew a resolute spirit within me! ² 

Yesaya 24:8

24:8 The happy sound ³  of the tambourines stops,

the revelry of those who celebrate comes to a halt,

the happy sound of the harp ceases.

Yesaya 51:3

51:3 Certainly the Lord will console Zion;

he will console all her ruins.

He will make her wilderness like Eden,

her desert like the Garden of the Lord.

Happiness and joy will be restored to ⁴  her,

thanksgiving and the sound of music.

[51:10]  ¹ sn The heart is viewed here as the seat of the psalmist’s motives and moral character.

[51:10]  ² tn Heb “and a reliable spirit renew in my inner being.”

[24:8]  ³ tn Heb “the joy” (again later in this verse).

[51:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “found in” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
