The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 38:1-22

A fearful picture of the sufferings which a great sin can cause. Supposed to be one of David's penitential psalms. I. COMPLICATED MENTAL AND BODILY SUFFERING . ( Psalms 38:1-8 .) 1 . Dread of God ' s further anger. Guilt makes a man full of fear and apprehension ( Psalms 38:1 ). 2 . His sin was realized as an intolerable burden. ( Psalms 38:4 .) A load that he was unable to carry; or a great wave passing over his head and threatening to overwhelm him. 3... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 38:9-14

In this second strophe the physical are subordinated to the moral sufferings; the former being touched on in one verse only ( Psalms 38:10 ), the latter occupying the rest of the section. Of these the most tangible are the pain caused by the desertion of his "lovers," "friends," and "kinsmen" ( Psalms 38:11 ), and the alarm arising from the action taken, simultaneously, by his ill wishers and adversaries ( Psalms 38:12 ). These afflictions have reduced him to a condition of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 38:10

My heart panteth . This verse, which reverts to the bodily sufferings, seems a little out of place. But Hebrew poetry is not logical, and cares little for exact arrangement. Three more bodily troubles are noticed, of which this is the first—the heart "pants," i.e. throbs, or palpitates violently. My strength faileth me. The strength suddenly fails. As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. The sight swims, and is swallowed up in darkness (comp. Job 17:7 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 38:11

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore ; or, from my stroke (comp. Psalms 39:10 , where the same word is used). The psalmist feels himself to be "stricken, smitten of God" ( Isaiah 53:4 ). He looks for comfort and sympathy to his friends, but they, with a selfishness that is only too common, hold aloof, draw away item him, and desert him (comp. Job 19:13 , Job 19:14 ). And my kinsmen stand afar off ; or, my neighbours. The stricken deer is forsaken by the rest of the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 38:10

My heart panteth - The word rendered “panteth,” in its original form, means properly to go about; to travel around; and then, to travel around as a merchant or pedlar, or for purposes of traffic: Genesis 23:16; Genesis 37:28; Genesis 42:34. Applied to the heart, as it is here, it means to move about rapidly; to palpitate; to beat quick. It is an expression of pain and distress, indicated by a rapid beating of the heart.My strength faileth me - It is rapidly failing. He regarded himself as... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 38:11

My lovers - See the notes at Psalms 31:11. The reference here is to those who professed to be his friends.And my friends - The word used here means properly an acquaintance, a companion, a friend, Job 2:11; Job 19:21; then, a lover, a friend, a neighbor. The phrase here would be synonymous with our word “kinsmen.”Stand aloof - They are unwilling to come near me; they leave me to suffer alone.From my sore - Margin: “stroke.” The Hebrew word means properly a stroke, a blow, Deuteronomy 17:8;... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 38:8-10

Psalms 38:8-10. I have roared Hebrew, שׁאגתי , sha-agti, roared like a lion, or a bear, namely, through extreme misery; by reason of the disquietness of my heart For the great anxiety and torment of my mind, caused by the deep sense of my sins, and of God’s wrath, and of the sad issue of both. My groaning is not hid from thee I do not utter all these complaints, nor roar out that thou mayest hear and know them, for thou hearest and knowest my lowest words, yea, the desires of my... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 38:11-13

Psalms 38:11-13. My lovers and friends stand aloof Either through neglect and contempt, or disdain of me. They that seek my life lay snares for me That if my affliction or trouble do not kill me, they may destroy me some other way; and imagine deceits all the day long They design mischief, but cover it with fair pretences. But I, as a deaf man, heard it not I carried myself toward them as if I had no ears to hear what they said, either to me or of me, nor a tongue to answer or reprove... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 38:1-22

Psalm 38-39 The cries of the sickThe psalmist David felt that sometimes punishment for his sins took the form of sickness (e.g. Psalms 6:0) or opposition from those who envied or hated him (e.g. Psalms 25:0). Both elements appear again in the prayer of Psalms 38:0, which, being a confession of sin, was suitable to be offered with certain sacrifices.As the suffering David cries to God for mercy, he admits that, because of his sin, he deserves what he has got (38:1-4). He vividly describes the... read more
