psalms 38:1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. - Free Bible Online

psalms 38:1 [A Psalm of David, for a memorial]. O Lord, rebuke me not in Thy wrath; And chasten me not in Thy burning anger.


      Ps 38:1-22. To bring to remembrance, or, remind God of His mercy and himself of his sin. Appealing to God for relief from His heavy chastisement, the Psalmist avows his integrity before men, complains of the defection of friends and persecution of enemies, and in a submissive spirit, casting himself on God, with penitent confession he pleads God's covenant relation and his innocence of the charges of his enemies, and prays for divine comfort and help.

      1-4. He deprecates deserved punishment, which is described (Ps 6:1), under the figure of bodily disease [Ps 38:3].
