The rhetorical question addressing those who attack the psalmist and who all lean together like a wall asks why the enemies persist in their assault despite the psalmist's grounding in God. The image of leaning together suggests coordinated and unified opposition; all forces are arrayed against the supplicant. The wall imagery suggests that the opposition is substantial and difficult to breach. This verse articulates the reality of the threat while implicitly questioning whether such opposition can ultimately succeed against one grounded in God.
