Psalm 39:10
“Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 39Meaning
Remove the stroke from me; the speaker feels consumed under discipline, yet the verse does not teach that every illness or hardship is punishment for a specific sin.
Hope, confession, and discipline
Verses 7–11 place hope in God, confess sin, seek deliverance, and wrestle with discipline without making suffering a universal diagnostic of guilt.
Read carefully
Remove the stroke from me; the speaker feels consumed under discipline, yet the verse does not teach that every illness or hardship is punishment for a specific sin.
