Contextual Overview
1 I am the man who has seen affliction under the rod of his fury, 2 He has led me and made me walk in darkness and not in light. 3 Against me alone he turns his hand again and again, all day. 4 He has worn away my skin and flesh, he has broken my bones. 5 He has besieged and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship. 6 He has made me live in darkness, like those who are long dead. 7 He has walled me in, so I can't escape; he has weighed me down with chains. 8 Even when I cry out, pleading for help, he shuts out my prayer. 9 He has barred my way with blocks of stone, he has made my paths crooked. 10 He lies in wait for me like a bear, like a lion in hiding.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Surely against me is he turned,.... As an enemy, who used to be a friend; he has so altered and changed the course of his providence, as if his favour and affections were wholly removed; he has planted his artillery against me, and made me the butt of his arrows: or, "only against me"; so Jarchi; as if he was the only person, or the Jews the only people, so afflicted of God:
he turneth his hand [against me] all the day; to smite with one blow after another, and that continually, without ceasing; so the hand of justice was turned upon Christ, as the surety of his people, and he was smitten and stricken of God; while the hand of grace and mercy was turned upon them; see Zechariah 13:7.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Is he turned; he turneth - Or, “surely against me” hath he turned “his hand” again and again “all the day long.”
