Theological / Devotional

Cast me not away. True happiness is found only in the presence of God (see Ps. 13:1; 16:11; 30:7; cf. Gen. 4:14).

Thy holy spirit. Although he realized that his sins had grieved the Holy Spirit, David prays that he might not be deprived of the guidance of that Spirit (see Isa. 63:10). Compare Eph. 4:30.
