because of Your indignation
The Hebrew word for "indignation" is "זַעַם" (za'am), which conveys a sense of divine anger or displeasure. In the context of the Old Testament, God's indignation often arises from human sin and rebellion. This phrase reflects the psalmist's understanding of God's righteous anger towards sin, emphasizing the holiness and justice of God. The psalmist acknowledges that the suffering he experiences is a result of divine displeasure, which serves as a reminder of the seriousness with which God views sin and the need for repentance and humility before Him.

and wrath
The term "wrath" in Hebrew is "חֵמָה" (chemah), indicating a burning anger or fury. This word is often used in the Old Testament to describe God's response to covenant unfaithfulness. The psalmist's use of "wrath" alongside "indignation" underscores the intensity of God's response to sin. It serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of turning away from God's commandments and the importance of living in accordance with His will. The psalmist's plight is seen as a direct result of divine wrath, which calls believers to reflect on their own lives and seek God's mercy and forgiveness.

for You have picked me up
The phrase "picked me up" suggests an action of lifting or raising. In Hebrew, the root word "נָשָׂא" (nasa) can mean to lift, carry, or bear. This imagery conveys a sense of being elevated or supported by God, even in the midst of divine displeasure. It reflects the paradox of God's relationship with His people: while He disciplines, He also sustains. This duality highlights God's sovereignty and His ultimate control over the circumstances of life. The psalmist recognizes that even in judgment, God is actively involved in his life, which can be a source of comfort and hope for believers.

and cast me aside
The phrase "cast me aside" uses the Hebrew word "שָׁלַךְ" (shalak), meaning to throw or hurl. This action implies rejection or abandonment, a feeling of being discarded. The psalmist feels the weight of separation from God, which is a profound expression of despair and loneliness. This imagery is powerful, as it captures the depth of human anguish when one feels distant from the divine presence. However, within the broader biblical narrative, such moments of feeling "cast aside" often lead to a deeper understanding of God's grace and redemption. It serves as a call to return to God, trusting in His unfailing love and the promise of restoration.

(10) Indignation and thy wrath.--Comp. Psalm 90:7. The last part of the clause is a figure taken from the action of a whirlwind. (Comp. Job 27:20-21; Job 30:22.)

Verse 10. - Because of thine indignation and thy wrath. "The bitterest ingredient of our cup of sorrow," says Dean Johnson, "is to know that it is owing to Jehovah's wrath and fierce anger for sin." For thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. "Elevated me," i.e. "only to cast me down, and so make my affliction the greater." The allusion is probably to the former prosperity of the speaker, and of Israel generally, in their own land, and their present misery in Babylon (compare, however, Job 27:21; Job 30:22).
