[Psalms 5](/study/psalms/5) [Psalms 7](/study/psalms/7) ## Commentary To verse 1 [Psalms 6:1](/kjv/psalms/6/1) « To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. » O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. **To the chief Musician on Neginoth** ] *See Trapp on title "*[Psa 4:1](/kjv/-psa/4/1) *"* **** **Upon Sheminith** ] Or, upon the eight, *i.e.* *Intentissimo sono et clarissima voce,* to be sung aloud. An eight is the highest note in music. See [1 Chronicles 15:21](/kjv/1-chronicles/15/21) . Others say, that hereby is meant the bass and tenor, as fittest for a mourner. **** Ver. 1. **O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger** ] In this and some other psalms David begins so heavily, ends so merrily, that one might think they had been composed by two men of a contrary humour, as Merlin observeth. *De l’ Amour Divin.* Every new man is two men,[Rom 7:9-25](/kjv/-rom/7/9-25) The Shulamite hath in her, as it were, the company of two armies, [Song of Solomon 6:13](/kjv/song-of-solomon/6/13) . The Lord also chequereth his providence white and black, he speckleth his work (represented by those speckled horses,[Zec 1:8](/kjv/-zec/1/8) ). Mercies and crosses are interwoven. **** **Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure** ] Chastened David desires to be, as [Jeremiah 10:24](/kjv/jeremiah/10/24)[1Co 11:32](/kjv/-1co/11/32) [Hebrews 12:7-8](/kjv/hebrews/12/7-8) ; but in mercy, and in measure, [1 Corinthians 10:13](/kjv/1-corinthians/10/13) . "Fury is not in me," saith God, however it may sometimes seem to be, [Isaiah 27:4](/kjv/isaiah/27/4) . Of furious people the philosopher giveth this character, that they are angry, 1. οις ου δει , against those whom they should not; 2. εφ ου δει , for matters they should not; 3. μαλλον η δει , more than they should be. But none of all these can be affirmed of God. Anger is not in him *secundum affectum,* but seemeth so to be *secundum effectum,* when he chideth and smiteth (as angry people use to do) when there is no other remedy, [2 Chronicles 36:13](/kjv/2-chronicles/36/13) . His anger is in Scripture put, 1. For his threatenings,[Hos 11:9](/kjv/-hos/11/9) [John 3:10](/kjv/john/3/10) [John 3:2](/kjv/john/3/2) . For his punishments,[Mat 3:7](/kjv/-mat/3/7) [Romans 2:8](/kjv/romans/2/8) . But as God therefore threateneth that he may not punish, [Amos 6:12](/kjv/amos/6/12) , so in the midst of judgment he remembereth mercy, and it soon repenteth him concerning his people. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/6#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/6#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/6","name":"Psalms 6 - Study King James Bible with trapps complete commentary","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/6#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read Psalms 6 with trapps complete commentary commentary. 1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bo","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/6#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/6"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/6#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","name":"Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary","name":"trapps complete commentary"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms","name":"Psalms"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/6","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/trapps-complete-commentary/psalms/6","name":"6"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
