Psalms 39:13. O spare me, -
"Deal gently with me; do not break me in pieces. If thou must needs smite me, yet do not altogether crush me. O spare me," -
Psalms 39:13. That I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
"Let me be able to take a little nourishment, and to gather my faculties together yet again, that I may sing to thee some sweeter hymn before I cease to be in the land of the living, and go hence out of this world." So, you see, this is a sweet Psalm after all, it is a bitter sweet, a sweet bitter, a Psalm that tends towards our spiritual health. Many of us understand what David meant by it. May others, who as yet do not, soon be taught its gracious lessons! Amen.
