Salmos 39:10

10 Afasta de mim o teu açoite;fui vencido pelo golpe da tua mão.

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 Livra-me de todas as minhas transgressões;não faças de mim um objeto de zombaria dos tolos.

9 Estou calado! Não posso abrir a boca,pois tu mesmo fizeste isso.

10 Afasta de mim o teu açoite;fui vencido pelo golpe da tua mão.

11 Tu repreendes e disciplinas o homem por causa do seu pecado;como traça destróis o que ele mais valoriza;de fato, o homem não passa de um sopro.

12 Ouve a minha oração, SENHOR;escuta o meu grito de socorro;não sejas indiferente ao meu lamento.Pois sou para ti um estrangeiro,como foram todos os meus antepassados.
