Ps 51:11

51:11 Holy Spirit. The Old Testament does not make a full disclosure of the personhood of the Holy Spirit. David understands that his spiritual well-being depends on God’s presence with him. He fears that the Spirit may be taken away, because the Spirit is holy and David is sinful. See “The Holy Spirit” at John 14:26.
