Psalm 50

Asaph describes in this Psalm the difference between true and false religion. False religion trusts in the rituals with no inward change. True religion trusts in God and the rituals of their religion are motivated by their relationship with Him.

In true religion, rituals serve the relationship.

This prayer which passes through David's lips has poured from the hearts of many contrite sinners. His prayer of repentance has become our model and textbook on the subject. David's appeal for forgiveness is not based on the good he ...
