⁴ For day and night Your hand was heavy on me;^(A)
my strength was drained^[a]
as in the summer’s heat.^(B)Selah

⁹ If I say, “I won’t mention Him
or speak any longer in His name,”
His message becomes a fire burning in my heart,^(A)
shut up in my bones.
I become tired of holding it in,
and I cannot prevail.
