Yahweh, don`t rebuke me in your wrath, Neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

Discipline, Not Wrath
Commentators like Spurgeon and Calvin highlight that the psalmist is not asking to avoid correction, but to be spared from God's destructive anger. He accepts the need for chastening but pleads for it to be done with a father's love, not in 'hot displeasure.' This shows a heart that fears God's wrath more than suffering itself.
