Psalm 42:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 42:10

[As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me
The reproaches of his enemies were grievous and cutting to him, as if a sword pierced through the marrow in his bones, which, being very sensitive, gives exquisite pain. There is a various reading here: some copies, as Vatablus observes, read (b) , "in", or with, and others (k) , "as", which seems to be the truest; and our translators supply "as", to make the sense, though they read "with"; but some ^F14 only read "as"; and the sense is, the reproaches cast upon the psalmist were as a sword cutting and killing; and these reproaches were as follow;

while they say daily unto me, where [is] thy God?
(See Gill on Psalms 42:3).

Psalm 42:10 In-Context

8 L’Eterno, di giorno, mandava la sua benignità, e la notte eran meco i suoi cantici, la preghiera all’Iddio della mia vita.

9 Io dirò a Dio, ch’è la mia ròcca: Perché mi hai dimenticato? Perché vo io vestito a bruno per l’oppression del nemico?

10 Trafiggendomi le ossa, i miei nemici mi fanno onta dicendomi continuamente: Dov’è il tuo Dio?

11 Perché t’abbatti anima mia? perché ti commuovi in me? Spera in Dio, perché lo celebrerò ancora; egli è la mia salvezza e il mio Dio.
