Summary

In this verse, the psalmist expresses his struggle and confusion when he sees the prosperity of the wicked. He questions the point of living a righteous life when it seems that the ungodly thrive. This sentiment reflects the common human experience of grappling with the apparent injustice and inequality in the world. The psalmist's honesty in sharing his doubts and struggles serves as a reminder that it is normal to wrestle with such feelings, but ultimately, he finds resolution and perspective in the presence of God.

Commentary

John Gill Bible Commentary

For all the day long have I been plagued,.... "Smitten or scourged" (p), as in Psa 73:5, that is, afflicted of God; which is no ways inconsistent with his love, nor with his covenant, nor with an interest in him, as a covenant God and Father; see Psa 89:29, and chastened every morning; not in wrath, but in love, and for good; not with the chastisement of a cruel one, but of a loving and tender father; and therefore not to be improved in such a manner, as if on this account there was nothing in religion; whereas the daily notices the Lord takes of his people this way show his regard unto them, and care of them. (p) "flagellatus", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus; "percussus", Gejerus.
