10 ¡Pero por favor, deja de castigarme!
Estoy agotado por los golpes de tu mano.

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 Rescátame de mis rebeliones.
No permitas que los necios se burlen de mí.

9 En silencio estoy delante de ti; no diré ni una palabra,
porque mi castigo proviene de ti.

10 ¡Pero por favor, deja de castigarme!
Estoy agotado por los golpes de tu mano.

11 Cuando nos disciplinas por nuestros pecados,
consumes como una polilla lo que estimamos precioso.
Cada uno de nosotros es apenas un suspiro.
Interludio

12 ¡Oh Señor
, oye mi oración!
¡Escucha mis gritos de auxilio!
No cierres los ojos ante mis lágrimas.
Pues soy tu invitado,
un viajero de paso,
igual que mis antepasados.
