Psalm 31:4
Douay-Rheims
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
Augustine of Hippo
"Because day and night Your Hand was heavy upon me:" because, through the continual punishment of Your scourges, "I was turned in misery, while a thorn was fixed through me" [Psalm 32:4]: I was made miserable by knowing my misery, being pricked with an evil conscience.
