Psalms 38:1. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath:
"If thou dost rebuke me, O Lord, do it gently! Be not very angry with me, for I cannot bear it, I shall die under it. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath."
Psalms 38:1. Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
"Chasten me, it will do me good; it is needful; it is profitable; but not in thy displeasure, certainly not in thy hot displeasure." The man of God is more afraid of God’s anger than he is of suffering. He does not object to affliction; what he does fear is any degree of the wrath of God in the chastisement.
