“Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.”
The statement that people say God has forsaken the psalmist establishes the taunt that the enemies use: if God truly cared, the psalmist would not suffer. The claim that no one pursues to rescue articulates that deliverance has not yet come. This verse articulates the psychological torture of the taunt: enemies use the delay of divine aid to suggest abandonment.
