Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - Make me to hear joy and gladness (comp. below, ver. 12). On forgiveness follows naturally the sense of it, and this sense is in itself a deep satisfaction. But the psalmist seems to ask for something more. He wants not mere negative peace and rest, but the active thrilling joy which those experience who feel themselves restored to God's favour, and bask in the light of his countenance. That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. That every ache and pain may cease, and be replaced by gladness and rejoicing.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) The bones which thou hast broken . . .--Through his whole being the psalmist has felt the crushing weight of sin; to its very fibres, as we say, his frame has suffered.
