²¹ Have mercy on me, have mercy on me, O you my friends,
    for the hand of God has ^(A)touched me!

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.
