'Hard' in the Bible

You have made Your people experience hardship;You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger and fall.

My soul [my life, my very self] clings to You;Your right hand upholds me.

Your wrath has rested heavily upon me,And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah.

They pour out words, speaking arrogant things;All who do evil boast proudly.

Therefore He humbled their heart with hard labor;They stumbled and there was no one to help.

For He has strengthened the bars of your gates,He has blessed your children within you.
