For I am afflicted all day long
This phrase reflects the psalmist's deep sense of ongoing suffering and distress. 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.

and punished every morning.
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 (Hebrews 12:6). 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 Lamentations 3:22-23, 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.

Teaching Points
Understanding Suffering
Suffering is a common experience for believers and can lead to spiritual growth and deeper reliance on God.

Perspective in Trials
Like Asaph, we must seek God's perspective in our trials, often found through prayer, worship, and studying His Word.

God's Discipline
Recognize that what feels like punishment may be God's loving discipline, intended to refine and strengthen our faith.

Daily Renewal
Each morning offers a new opportunity to seek God's presence and strength, even amidst ongoing struggles.

Trust in God's Justice
Trust that God sees the bigger picture and will ultimately bring justice, even when it seems delayed.Verse 14. - For all the day long have been plagued. While the ungodly have prospered, and net been plagued at all (ver. 5), I, the representative of the righteous, have been "plagued," or afflicted, continually. What, then, does goodness advantage me? And chastened every morning; literally, and my chastisement has beem every morning (comp. Job 7:18).
