Contextual Overview

1 Rebuke me not O God in thyne anger: neither chasten me in thy heauie displeasure. 2 For thyne arrowes sticke fast in me: and thy hande presseth me sore. 3 There is no helath in my flesh through thy displeasure: neither is there any rest in my bones by reason of my sinne. 4 For my manyfolde wickednes is gone ouer my head: and like a sore burthen is to heauie for me to beare. 5 My woundes stinke and are corrupt: through my foolishnes. 6 I am become crooked, and am exceedingly pulled downe: I go a mourning all the day long. 7 For my loynes are filled with heate: and there is no whole part in my body. 8 I am feeble and sore smitten: I haue rored for the very disquietnesse of my heart. 9 Lorde thou knowest all my desire: and my gronyng is not hyd from thee. 10 My heart panteth, my strength hath fayled me: and the lyght of myne eyes is gone from me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

My heart panteth,.... Or "goes about" m; runs here and there, and finds no rest; as Aben Ezra interprets the word from the Targum he cites; though the Targum we have renders it, "my heart shakes with fear", or dread, as persons in a fever. Jarchi interprets the word, surrounded with grief; it denotes the panting or palpitation of the heart, through sorrow and dread, and the failing of it, even as at death;

my strength faileth me, or "forsakes me" n; bodily strength and spiritual strength; the strength of faith, hope, and confidence;

as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me; which is often the case of persons under bodily disorders, their eyes grow dim, and sight fails them; and this might be true in a spiritual sense of the psalmist, who had lost sight of God as his covenant God; of his interest in his love, in the blessings of his grace, and in eternal salvation, and was walking in darkness, and saw no light.

m סחרחר "circuivit", Pagninus, Montanus, Vatablus. n עזבני "dereliquit me", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius Tremellius, Piscator so Musculus, Cocceius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

My heart panteth - The word rendered “panteth,” in its original form, means properly to go about; to travel around; and then, to travel around as a merchant or pedlar, or for purposes of traffic: Genesis 23:16; Genesis 37:28; Genesis 42:34. Applied to the heart, as it is here, it means to move about rapidly; to palpitate; to beat quick. It is an expression of pain and distress, indicated by a rapid beating of the heart.

My strength faileth me - It is rapidly failing. He regarded himself as rapidly approaching death.

As for the light of mine eyes - My vision; my sight.

It also is gone from me - Margin, as in Hebrew: “is not with me.” This is usually an indication of approaching death; and it would seem from all these symptoms that he appeared to be drawing near to the end of life. Compare Psalms 13:3; Psalms 6:7; Psalms 31:9.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 38:10. My heart panteth — סחרחר secharchar, flutters, palpitates, through fear and alarm.

My strength faileth — Not being able to take nourishment.

The light of mine eyes - is gone — I can scarcely discern any thing through the general decay of my health and vigour, particularly affecting my sight.
