10. As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me. Cruel mockeries cut deeper than the flesh; they reach the soul. The
tongue cuts to the bone, and its wounds are hard to cure. While they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? This is the unkindest cut of all,
reflecting as it does both upon the Lord’s faithfulness and his servant’s
character. Such was the malice of David’s foes, that they repeated the cruel
question daily. Surely this was enough to madden him, and perhaps would
have done so had he not resorted to prayer.
