Psalms 39:8

Psa 39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.

Ver. 8. Deliver me from all my transgressions ] But especially from that of impatiently desiring to die out of discontent, Psalms 39:4 . The sense of this one sin brought many more to remembrance; as a man, by looking over his debt book for one thing, meets with more. God giveth the penitent general discharges; neither calleth he any to an after reckoning.

Make me not the reproach of the foolish ] Let not any wicked one (for such are all fools in God’s dictionary) lay this folly in my dish, that I so foolishly desired death in a pet.
