The Key Word — תַּשְׁלִיכֵ֥נִי, tash.li.Khe.nigenerated
The verb שָׁלַךְ (shalak) means to throw or cast away. In this context, the Hiphil form indicates that David is asking God not to actively throw him away from His presence. The parsing as a verb in the imperfect tense suggests a plea for a future action, highlighting David's urgent desire for mercy.
This construction emphasizes David's fear of rejection and his understanding of the necessity of God's presence and Spirit for his spiritual well-being.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb תַּשְׁלִיכֵ֥נִי governs the main clause, with a prepositional phrase מִלְּפָנֶ֑יךָ indicating the source of rejection. The second part of the verse introduces another finite verb תִּקַּ֥ח, creating a parallel structure that reinforces David's plea.
The sentence structure highlights the urgency of David's request, with two main actions centered around his relationship with God.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates תַּשְׁלִיכֵ֥נִי with ἀπόστρεψον, which means 'turn away' or 'reject.' This choice suggests a broader interpretation of David's plea, emphasizing the relational aspect of being turned away from God.
The use of ἀνομίας for רוּחַ indicates a focus on the moral implications of the Spirit's departure, aligning with the themes of sin and consequence.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) Cast me not away.—This phrase is used of the formal rejection of Israel by the God of the covenant (2 Kings 13:23; 2 Kings 17:20; 2 Kings 24:20; Jeremiah 7:15). Its use here not only confirms the explanation of the notes above, but makes in favour of understanding the whole psalm of the community. Take not thy holy spirit.—Commentators have discussed whether this means the spirit of office given to the king on his anointing (1 Samuel 16:13), or of grace, and Calvinists and Lutherans have made the text a battle-ground of controversy. Plainly, as the parallelism shows, the petition is equivalent to a prayer against rejection from the Divine favour, and is not to be pressed into any…

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges11. The upright “behold God’s face” (Psalms 11:7): He admits them to His presence for ever (Psalms 41:12). The spirit of Jehovah came upon David, as it departed from Saul (1 Samuel 16:13-14). Did David fear that he might share the fate of Saul, banished from God’s presence and deprived of His favour, deserted by that Spirit which is the source of all right desire and action? It is pointed out by the advocates of the national interpretation of the Psalm that the phrase of the first line is always used of the rejection of the nation and its banishment from the holy land (2 Kings 13:23; 2 Kings 17:20; 2 Kings 24:20; Jeremiah 7:15): and that the phrase ‘God’s holy spirit’ is found elsewhere in…

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads, "אַל־ תַּשְׁלִיכֵ֥נִי מִלְּפָנֶ֑יךָ וְר֥וּחַ קָ֝דְשְׁךָ֗ אַל־ תִּקַּ֥ח מִמֶּֽנִּי׃" The Septuagint, while not providing a direct text, shows that five of the eight words match the Masoretic Text, indicating some level of agreement in the translation. However, the specific wording and order differ, reflecting the Septuagint's unique structure. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls are not mentioned here, suggesting they may not provide additional variations for this verse. Overall, the primary agreement is in the core plea not to be cast away from God's presence or to lose the Holy Spirit, but the exact phrasing and arrangement differ between the texts.
אַל־ תַּשְׁלִיכֵ֥נִי מִלְּפָנֶ֑יךָ וְר֥וּחַ קָ֝דְשְׁךָ֗ אַל־ תִּקַּ֥ח מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

HC/Ncfsc — Conjunction · noun common feminine singular constructHC/Ncfsc
ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.
