Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 38:1-8

1). The Psalmist Describes the Chastening that He is Experiencing and Acknowledges the Heinousness of His Sin (Psalms 38:1-8 ). He commences with a prayer that, while God may rebuke and chasten him as he deserves, He will not do it so much in anger as in grieved love (Psalms 38:1). He cannot bear the thought that God could be wholly at odds with him. And he then goes on to describe the experience that he is going through, the depths of his spiritual anguish (Psalms 38:2), his deep sense of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 38:5-8

My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness. I am pained and bowed down greatly, I go mourning all the day long. For my loins are filled with burning, And there is no soundness in my flesh. I am faint and sore bruised, I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart.’ He is so overwhelmed by his sense of sin that he sees himself as wounded, with wounds that are putrefying and becoming loathsome. And he knows that all this because of his own folly. He does not try to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 38:8

Roared, like a bear or a lion, through extreme pain and 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 my disease; which being added to my bodily pains, makes them more intolerable. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 38:1-22

INTRODUCTIONThis is a psalm of David to call to remembrance his past life, and, no doubt, has especial reference to his sin with Bathsheba. It calls up to the view of his memory the sins of the past, the afflictions of the past, the enemies of the past, and the mercies of the past. It is well to have times of remembrance in life, like milestones on the road, to remind of the journey we have travelled, and to inspire us onward to the future. The past is not entirely to be forgotten; it is to be... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 38:1-22

In Psalms 38:19-20, David intimates that he was hated wrongfully, because he followed good. This psalm was composed under some new outbreaking of Saul’s persecution, when his mind sunk under depression, and when he joined his sorrows to those of the Saviour. It was a sabbatical psalm of confession in the synagogue. Psalms 38:1-3 . Oh Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath. To contend with heaven is more than a mortal can bear. Thine arrows are shot against me, as when a company of archers flank... read more
