Commentators note that David is not rejecting God's discipline but pleading about its intensity. He accepts the need for rebuke but asks that it not be delivered in 'anger' or 'hot displeasure.' This models a mature prayer that acknowledges God's right to correct His children while simultaneously appealing to His fatherly mercy and gentleness.
