“Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.”
The confession that when the psalmist's heart was grieved and the spirit embittered articulates the emotional and spiritual toll of wrestling with the problem of evil. The reference to being grieved and embittered indicates profound psychological disturbance. This verse indicates that the crisis of faith was not merely intellectual but deeply emotional.
