Make me to hear joy and gladness,
Let the bones which You have broken rejoice.
Psalm 51:8
How transparent and how true!
Just now on Bible Hub, I discovered a wonderful translation of this verse from a bible
I had never heard of, the Aramaic Bible in Plain English*:
Satisfy me in Your sweetness and Your joy
and my humble bones will rejoice.
Whatever He b r e a k s in a submitted life is meant to make us ready to
soak
Jesus
in
deeply.
Only humbled, broken bones can absorb His true sweetness and joy.
Keep
sur-
ren-
der-
ing.
