Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; or, from my stroke (comp. Psalm 39:10, where the same word is used). The psalmist feels himself to be "stricken, smitten of God" (Isaiah 53:4). He looks for comfort and sympathy to his friends, but they, with a selfishness that is only too common, hold aloof, draw away item him, and desert him (comp. Job 19:13, 14). And my kinsmen stand afar off; or, my neighbours. The stricken deer is forsaken by the rest of the herd (comp. Matthew 26:56, 58).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) Sore is rather stroke, as in margin, or plague. His friends, looking on him as "one smitten of God," and thinking "he must be wicked to deserve such pain," abandon him as too vile for their society.Kinsmen.--Render rather, as in margin, neighbours, or near ones.Those who should have been near me stand aloof.
