Psalm 42:10

Listen to Psalm 42:10
10 Es ist als ein Mord in meinen Gebeinen, daß mich meine Feinde schmähen, wenn sie täglich zu mir sagen: Wo ist nun dein Gott?

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).

11 Was betrübst du dich, meine Seele, und bist so unruhig in mir? Harre auf Gott! denn ich werde ihm noch danken, daß er meines Angesichts Hilfe und mein Gott ist.
