Gill's Notes on the Bible
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me,.... Meaning the afflicting hand of God, which is not joyous, but grievous, and heavy to be borne; especially without his gracious presence, and the discoveries of his love: this continued night and day, without any intermission; and may design some violent distemper; perhaps a fever; since it follows,
my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. That is, the radical moisture in him was almost dried up, as brooks in the summer season; his body was parched, as it were, with the burning heat of the disease; or with an apprehension of the wrath of God under it, or both: and so he continued until be was brought to a true sense of sin, and an acknowledgment of it, when he had the discoveries of pardoning love, as is expressed in Psalms 32:5. The Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions read, "I am turned into distress, through a thorn being fixed"; and so Apollinarius paraphrases the words,
"I am become miserable, because thorns are fixed in my skin;''
reading ק××¥ for ק××¥; and which Suidas o interprets "sin", that being like the thorn, unfruitful and pricking; see 2 Corinthians 12:7.
Selah; on this word, 2 Corinthians 12:7- :.
o In voce ακανθα.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For day and night - I found no relief even at night. The burden was constant, and was insupportable.
Thy hand was heavy upon me - Thy hand seemed to press me down. It weighed upon me. See Job 13:21; Psalms 39:10. It was the remembrance of guilt that troubled him, but that seemed to him to be the hand of God. It was God who brought that guilt to his recollection; and God âkeptâ the recollection of it before his mind, and on his heart and conscience, so that he could not throw it off.
My moisture - The word used here - ×ש×× leshad - means properly âjuiceâ or âsap,â as in a tree; and then, âvital-moisture,â or, as we should say, âlife-blood.â Then it comes to denote vigour or strength.
Is turned into the drought of summer - Is, as it were, all dried up. I am - that is, I was at the time referred to - like plants in the heat of summer, in a time of drought, when all moisture of rain or dew is withheld, and when they dry up and wither. Nothing could more strikingly represent the distress of mind under long-continued conviction of sin, when all strength and vigour seem to waste away.
