8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Verse explanation
"Create" translates the same Hebrew verb used in Genesis for the creation of the world, reserved for God's action alone. David isn't asking for a repair job: he's asking for something entirely new, made from scratch.
From the Psalms 51 study in Bible in Stories.
