SEV Biblia, Chapter 38:1

¶ Salmo de David, digno de memoria. SEÑOR, no me reprendas en tu furor, ni me castigues en tu ira.

---

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 37:1

Verse 1. O Lord, rebuke me not ] He was sensible that he was suffering under the displeasure of God; and he prays that the chastisement may be in mercy, and not in judgment.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-11 - Nothing will disquiet the heart of a good man so much as the sense of God's anger. The way to keep the heart quiet, is to keep ourselves in the love of God. But a sense of guilt is too heavy to bear; and woul sink men into despair and ruin, unless removed by the pardoning merc of God. If there were not sin in our souls, there would be no pain in our bones, no illness in our bodies. The guilt of sin is a burden to the whole creation, which groans under it. It will be a burden to the sinners themselves, when they are heavy-laden under it, or a burden of ruin, when it sinks them to hell. When we perceive our true condition the Good Physician will be valued, sought, and obeyed. Yet many le their wounds rankle, because they delay to go to their merciful Friend When, at any time, we are distempered in our bodies, we ought to remember how God has been dishonoured in and by our bodies. The groanings which cannot be uttered, are not hid from Him that searche the heart, and knows the mind of the Spirit. David, in his troubles was a type of Christ in his agonies, of Christ on his cross, sufferin and deserted.
