The True Source of Sorrow
Commentators like Calvin and Spurgeon highlight that the psalmist's deepest pain isn't from his enemies or afflictions, but from the sense of being under God's "indignation and wrath." This teaches that our spiritual state and relationship with God are the true source of our deepest sorrows and joys. When we feel distant from God, it's a pain that outweighs all other troubles.
