Context of Psalms 39:10
8Save me from all my sins! Do not let fools insult me. 9I will not say anything more. I will not open my mouth, because it is you who have punished me! Please do not hurt me any more! You have already punished me enough, so that I am almost dead! 11When people do wrong things, you warn them and you punish them. You destroy their valuable things, like a moth eats cloth! Yes, our lives are only a breath! Selah. 12Lord, please hear my prayer. Listen to me when I call to you for help. Do not turn away from me when I weep. I need your help, like a foreign person who lives away from his home. I live on earth as a stranger, like all my ancestors did.

Commentaries on Psalms 39:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Remove thy stroke away from me - This seems to be a figure taken from gladiators, or persons contending in single combat. One is wounded so as to be able to maintain the fight no longer: he therefore gives in, and prays his adversary to spare his life. I am conquered; I can hold the contest no longer: thou art too powerful for me. He cries what our ancestors used to term craven; the word spoken by him who was conquered in the battle ordeal, or trial by…Read the comment

We may see a good God doing all, and ordering all events concerning us; and a…Read the comment
