⁴ For day and night your ^(A)hand was heavy upon me;
    my strength was dried up^[a] as by the heat of summer. Selah

² For your ^(A)arrows have sunk into me,
    and your hand ^(B)has come down on me.

^10 (A)Remove your stroke from me;
    I am spent by the hostility of your hand.
¹¹ When you discipline a man
    with ^(B)rebukes for sin,
you ^(C)consume like a ^(D)moth what is dear to him;
    ^(E)surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah

¹⁵ my strength is ^(A)dried up like a potsherd,
    and my ^(B)tongue sticks to my jaws;
    you lay me in the dust of death.

⁷ Behold, no ^(A)fear of me need terrify you;
    my ^(B)pressure will not be heavy upon you.

⁶ in ^(A)the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
    in the evening it ^(B)fades and ^(C)withers.

^10 (A)Our skin is hot as an oven
    with ^(B)the burning heat of famine.
