Psalms 73:14

14. Have I been plagued I who have endeavoured after innocency and righteousness, (Psalms 73:13,) while the wicked “are not plagued like other men,” Psalms 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 Psalms 39:11; Proverbs 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.
