How long, Lord? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire? Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You, and on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.
There is certainly a lot of injustice in our world, now as then. The Lord, the Judge of all the earth, will deal with all of it, in His time. ‘Nobody gets away with nothin’, in the grand scheme of things.
We know this, and yet how easy it is to identify with the frustration and anger the psalmist feels.
Even so, “Lord, have mercy” is the prayer we should be praying.
