In the psalms of repentance, particularly in Psalm 32, David describes God’s response to his attempts to hide his sin as **like God’s hand, pushing down heavily on him**. He expresses that when he kept silent about his sin, he felt the heavy weight of God's hand upon him, which led to inner turmoil and physical distress. It conveys a sense of God’s conviction and pressure upon him until he acknowledged his wrongdoings.
