Contextual Overview
1 I am a man who has seen much trouble. God beat us with a stick, and I saw it happen. 2 He led and brought me into darkness, not light. 3 He turned his hand against me. He did this again and again, all day. 4 He wore out my flesh and skin. He broke my bones. 5 He built up bitterness and trouble against me. He surrounded me with bitterness and trouble. 6 He put me in the dark, like someone who died long ago. 7 He shut me in, so I could not get out. He put heavy chains on me. 8 Even when I cry out and ask for help, he does not listen to my prayer. 9 He has blocked up my path with stones. He has made my path crooked. 10 He is like a bear about to attack me, like a lion that is in a hiding place.

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.”
