The term "afflicted" suggests a state of being oppressed or burdened, which is a common theme in the Psalms where the righteous often face trials. This affliction can be understood as both physical and spiritual, indicating a comprehensive experience of hardship. The phrase "all day long" emphasizes the continuous nature of this suffering, suggesting that it is relentless and unending. This mirrors the experiences of many biblical figures, such as Job, who endured prolonged periods of suffering. The psalmist's lament can be seen as a cry for divine intervention, echoing the broader biblical narrative where God's people often endure trials before experiencing deliverance.<p><b>and punished every morning.</b><br>The use of "punished" here can be interpreted as a form of divine discipline or correction. In the biblical context, punishment is often seen as a means of refining and purifying the believer, aligning with the idea that God disciplines those He loves (<a href="/hebrews/12-6.htm">Hebrews 12:6</a>). The phrase "every morning" suggests a regular, perhaps even predictable, occurrence of this discipline, indicating that the psalmist feels a daily reminder of his struggles. This could be seen as a metaphor for the new challenges and mercies that each day brings, as referenced in <a href="/lamentations/3-22.htm">Lamentations 3:22-23</a>, where God's mercies are new every morning. The morning, a time of renewal and hope, contrasts with the idea of punishment, highlighting the tension between the psalmist's expectations and his reality. This tension is resolved in the broader context of the Psalm, where the psalmist ultimately finds solace and understanding in God's presence.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/asaph.htm">Asaph</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/73.htm">Psalm 73</a>, Asaph was a prominent Levite musician appointed by King David to lead worship in the tabernacle. His psalms often reflect deep personal struggles and insights into God's justice and faithfulness.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sanctuary_of_god.htm">The Sanctuary of God</a></b><br>While not directly mentioned in verse 14, the sanctuary plays a crucial role in the broader context of <a href="/bsb/psalms/73.htm">Psalm 73</a>.
