Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Psalms 73:14
For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
14. For &c.] Apparently the recompence of his piety has been continual chastisement. The wicked are not plagued ( Psa 73:5), but for him there has been constant renewal of divinely inflicted sufferings. Cp. Psa 39:10-11; Job 7:18.

For all the day long – Continually. All my life.
Have I been plagued – Smitten; afflicted; troubled. My life has been a life of trial. I have not known prosperity.
And chastened every morning – Margin, as in Hebrew, My chastisement was. That is, my sufferings – my trials – have been repeated with every returning morning. Each new day has brought some new form of affliction, designed to rebuke and punish me. I never have found exemption from trial even for a single day. So different is my lot from the lot of wicked people, who know nothing of this, and who are always prospered and happy. See the notes at Job 7:18.

Verse 14. For all the day long have I been plagued] Far from enjoying worldly prosperity, we are not only poor, but we are afflicted also; and every succeeding day brings with it some new trouble.

Whilst their ungodliness hath been attended with constant prosperity, my piety hath been exercised with continual afflictions.

For all the day long have I been plagued,…. “Smitten or scourged” p, as in Ps 73:5, that is, afflicted of God; which is no ways inconsistent with his love, nor with his covenant, nor with an interest in him, as a covenant God and Father; see Ps 89:29,
and chastened every morning; not in wrath, but in love, and for good; not with the chastisement of a cruel one, but of a loving and tender father; and therefore not to be improved in such a manner, as if on this account there was nothing in religion; whereas the daily notices the Lord takes of his people this way show his regard unto them, and care of them.

14. Have I been plagued I who have endeavoured after innocency and righteousness, (Psa 73:13,) while the wicked “are not plagued like other men,” Psa 73:5, which see on the word “plagued.”
And chastened every morning “Chastened” must be taken in the sense of rebuked, censured, for so it appeared to him, as Psa 39:11; Pro 3:11. “Every morning” is put for every day, daily. This apparent smiting and rebuking the righteous every day, while the wicked live in affluence and ease, is the complaint of the Church only in times of special and prolonged persecution and oppression, such as the nation was now suffering. See introduction.

Ver. 14. For all the day long have I been plagued ] God’s best-beloved are most afflicted, neither have any out of hell ever suffered more than the heirs of heaven. See my treatise called God’s Love tokens.
