John Gill Commentary Psalms 73:14

"For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning." — Psalms 73:14 (ASV)

For all the day long have I been plagued
"Smitten or scourged" ^F16, as in (Psalms 73:5), that is, afflicted of God; which is in no way inconsistent with his love, nor with his covenant, nor with an interest in him, as a covenant God and Father; see (Psalms 89:29–34) (Hebrews 12:5–8) ,

and chastened every morning ;
not in wrath, but in love, and for good; not with the chastisement of a cruel one, but of a loving and tender father; and therefore not to be interpreted in such a manner, as if on this account there was nothing in religion; whereas the daily notices the Lord takes of his people this way show his regard unto them, and care of them.
