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.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
thy hand--of God, or power in distressing him (Psa 38:2). moisture--vital juices of the body, the parching heat of which expresses the anguish of the soul. On the other figures, compare Psa 6:2, Psa 6:7; Psa 31:9-11. If composed on the occasion of the fifty-first Psalm, this distress may have been protracted for several months.
