Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 6:1

1. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger , neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure .

(i. e.) Do not chasten or correct me, as the next Clause explains it, and as this word is frequently used, as Iob 22. 4. Psal. 50. 21. Isa. 37. 4. Revel. 3. 19.

With rigour or severity, as my Sins deserve, but with gentleness and moderation, Ier. 10. 24. and 46. 28. or so as it may not be the effect of thy strict Justice or Anger, but of thy Mercy and Faithfulness.

The same thing repeated after the manner.

Marginal references: Psal. 38.
