“For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.”
The reference to those whom God has struck being pursued with pain establishes that the psalmist's suffering is connected to God's judgment on the enemies; their opposition to the psalmist is participation in rebellion against God. The continuation that they add to the pain of those already pained by God indicates that the enemies are layering their own assault on top of God's judgment. The reference to the person God has struck being pursued indicates the fulfillment of God's sentence. This verse connects the psalmist's suffering to God's larger purposes of judgment.
