8. Mine enemies reproach me all the day. Their
rage was unrelenting and unceasing, and vented itself in taunts and insults;
the psalmist’s patriotism and his griefs were both made the subjects of their
sport. Pointing to the sad estate of his people they would ask him, “Where is your God?” and
exult over him because their false gods were in the ascendant. And they that are mad against me are sworn against me. They were so furious that they
bound themselves by oath to destroy him, and used his name as their usual
execration, a word to curse by, the synonym of abhorrence and contempt.
