Cross-References
But he would not; but said to his master’s wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him:
go not in the way with them, but turn aside thy foot from their paths:
to remove thee far from the straight way, and to estrange thee from a righteous purpose. My son, let not evil counsel overtake thee,
for honey drops from the lips of a harlot, who for a season pleases thy palate:
Remove thy way far from her; draw not near to the doors of her house:
that she may keep thee from the strange and wicked woman, if she should assail thee with flattering words.
Then she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said to him,
She sits at the doors of her house, on a seat openly in the streets,
saying, Whoso is most senseless of you, let him turn aside to me; and I exhort those that want prudence, saying,
The mouth of a transgressor is a deep pit; and he that is hated of the Lord shall fall into it. Evil ways are before a man, and he does not like to turn away from them; but it is needful to turn aside from a perverse and bad way.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Remove thy stroke away from me,.... The psalmist still considers his affliction as coming from the hand of God, as his stroke upon him, and which lay as a heavy burden on him, and which God only could remove; and to him he applies for the removal of it, who is to be sought unto by his people to do such things for them; nor is such an application any ways contrary to that silence and patience before expressed;
I am consumed by the blow of thine hand; meaning either that his flesh was consumed by his affliction, which came from the hand of God, or he should be consumed if he did not remove it: he could not bear up under it, but must sink and die; if he continued to strive and contend with him, his spirit would fail before him, and the soul that he had made; and therefore he entreats he would remember he was but dust, and remove his hand from him; for this is a reason enforcing the preceding petition.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Remove thy stroke away from me - And yet this calm submission, as expressed in Psalms 39:9, does not take away the desire that the hand of God may be removed, and that the suffering that is brought upon us may cease. Perfect submission is not inconsistent with the prayer that, if it be the will of God, the calamity may be removed: Luke 22:42. On the word here rendered “stroke” - נגע nega‛ - see the notes at Psalms 38:11. It is equivalent here to chastisement, or judgment. It refers to the trial which he was then enduring, whatever it was, which had given occasion to the feelings that he says Psalms 39:1-2 he had felt bound to suppress when in the presence of the wicked, but in reference to which he had learned entirely to acquiesce Psalms 39:9. From that trial itself he now prays that he may be delivered.
I am consumed - I am wasting away. I cannot long bear up under it. I must sink down to the grave if it is not removed. See Psalms 39:13.
By the blow of thine hand - Margin, as in Hebrew: “conflict.” That is, the blow which God brings on anyone when he has, as it were, a “strife” or a “conflict” with him. It is designed here to express his affliction, as if God had “struck” him.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 39:10. Remove 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 combat.
