His joy of salvation is lost.

One of the results of David’s terrible fall was the loss of his joy of God’s salvation. “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation” (Psa 51:12), was his heart-broken cry. Note, he does not say, “Restore unto me thy salvation,” but “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation.” By his wicked conduct he had lost the enjoyment of it. In proportion that the believer allows sin a place in his daily life, he loses his relish for spiritual things: his love for the Word diminishes, his delight in prayer vanishes, his heart is empty and dissatisfied. Not only so, he is miserable. “O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” (Rom 7:24) becomes, more and more, his plaint. When Peter had denied the Lord, we read that he went out and “wept”—wept not profusely but bitterly, showing his joyless and miserable condition.
