10. Remove thy stroke away from me. Silence
from all repining did not prevent the voice of prayer, which must never cease.
In all probability the Lord would grant the psalmist’s petition, for he usually
removes affliction when we are resigned to it. It is quite consistent with
resignation to pray for the removal of a trial. I am consumed by the blow ofthine hand. It is well to show our Father the bruises which his scourge has
made, for perhaps his fatherly pity will bind his hands, and move him to
comfort us. It is not to consume us, but to consume our sins, that the Lord
aims at in his chastisements.
