1. He owns his ill desert in begging a relief from chastisement.

‏ Psalms 38:1

1-4. He deprecates deserved punishment, which is described (Ps 6:1), under the figure of bodily disease [Ps 38:3].

‏ Jeremiah 30:11

11. though . . . full end of all nations . . . yet . . . not . . . of thee— (Am 9:8). The punishment of reprobates is final and fatal; that of God's people temporary and corrective. Babylon was utterly destroyed: Israel after chastisement was delivered.

in measure—literally, "with judgment," that is, moderation, not in the full rigor of justice (Jer 10:24; 46:28; Ps 6:1; Isa 27:8).

not . . . altogether unpunished— (Ex 34:7).
