The Hebrew word for "scourge" is "נֶגַע" (nega), which can mean a plague, affliction, or stroke. In the ancient Near Eastern context, physical ailments or hardships were often seen as direct consequences of divine displeasure or correction. David acknowledges that his suffering is not merely a random occurrence but a result of God's corrective hand. This plea reflects a deep understanding of God's sovereignty and justice, recognizing that the affliction is both a tool for correction and a call to repentance. Theologically, this highlights the concept of divine discipline as an expression of God's love, as seen in Hebrews 12:6, "For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives."
