PSALM 6 ......how long........Verse 1 to 4

From the Latin English text of the Psalter compiled and edited by David Mawson,

Psalm 6 verse 4 ;    
And my soul is troubled exceedingly; but thou, O Lord, how long?

People of God in exile have prayed   " How long ? "

Psalm 13:2  How long, O LORD.?
Psalm 13:3  How long must I suffer?

till the end of slavery___how long ?
till the end of discrimination___how long ?

People suffer their own "exile" experiences;
Separation can cause anguish.

People suffer their own "oppression" experiences;
from bully schoolteachers to bully employers.

Those people who have the love of Christ in their hearts are the ones who respond
when they discern "exile" experiences or "oppression" experiences in the lives of
people around them. The love of Christ in people makes a big difference .
