Salmos 39:10

10 Ya no me castigues,que los golpes de tu mano me aniquilan.

Salmos 39:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 39:10

Remove thy stroke away from me
The psalmist still considers his affliction as coming from the hand of God, as his stroke upon him, and which lay as a heavy burden on him, and which God only could remove; and to him he applies for the removal of it, who is to be sought unto by his people to do such things for them; nor is such an application any ways contrary to that silence and patience before expressed;

I am consumed by the blow of thine hand;
meaning either that his flesh was consumed by his affliction, which came from the hand of God, or he should be consumed if he did not remove it: he could not bear up under it, but must sink and die; if he continued to strive and contend with him, his spirit would fail before him, and the soul that he had made; and therefore he entreats he would remember he was but dust, and remove his hand from him; for this is a reason enforcing the preceding petition.

Salmos 39:10 In-Context

8 Líbrame de todas mis transgresiones.Que los necios no se burlen de mí.

9 »He guardado silencio; no he abierto la boca,pues tú eres quien actúa.

10 Ya no me castigues,que los golpes de tu mano me aniquilan.

11 Tú reprendes a los mortales,los castigas por su iniquidad;como polilla, acabas con sus placeres.¡Un soplo nada más es el mortal! Selah

12 »SEÑOR, escucha mi oración,atiende a mi clamor;no cierres tus oídos a mi llanto.Ante ti soy un extraño,un peregrino, como todos mis antepasados.
