The Relentless Enemy
Commentators observe that the psalmist's enemies were relentless, reproaching him "all the day." Their opposition wasn't passive; it was a furious, active hostility described as being "mad against me." This captures the overwhelming feeling of being targeted by an unceasing and rage-filled campaign of insults and threats.
