For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: my strength is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
All Commentaries on Psalms 32:4 Go To Psalms 32
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
4. "Because day and night Thy Hand was heavy upon me:" because, through the continual punishment of Thy scourges, "I was turned in misery, while a thorn was fixed through me" (ver. 4): I was made miserable by knowing my misery, being pricked with an evil conscience.
