Blessedness consists in remission of sins3. Confession of sins gives ease to the conscience 8. God's promises bring joy For day and night This phrase emphasizes the unrelenting nature of the experience described. In the Hebrew context, "day and night" signifies a continuous, unbroken period, suggesting that the psalmist is under constant pressure or conviction.

This relentless experience can be seen as a metaphor for the persistent nature of God's conviction or discipline, which does not wane with time. Your hand was heavy upon me My strength was drained As in the summer heat My moisture.--The Hebrew word is found only once besides (Numbers 11:8), where the Authorised Version has "fresh oil;" the LXX. and Vulg., "an oily cake." Aquila has "of the breast of oil," reading the word erroneously. Here both LXX. and Vulg. seem to have had a different reading, "I was turned to sorrow while the thorn was fixed in." Symmachus translates somewhat similarly, but by "to destruction" instead of "to sorrow." Aquila, "to my spoiling in summer desolation." These readings, however, mistake the lamed, which is part of the word, for a preposition. Gesenius connects with an Arabic root, to suck, and so gets the meaning juice or moisture.
