The psalmist describes how God's hand pressed heavily on him and his strength failed as he fought against the heat of summer. The metaphor of God's hand pressing heavily suggests divine pressure and judgment. The phrase "day and night" emphasizes the constant, unrelenting pressure. The image of strength failing suggests that the psalmist's own resources were exhausted by the struggle. This verse demonstrates that God's judgment against unacknowledged sin manifests as mounting pressure and distress.
