“How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?” (v1). Like many people, the psalmist’s experience of suffering made him feel as if the Lord had forgotten him, or as if the Lord had turned his attention away. Even so, his faith caused him to cry out to the Lord and ask “how long” his difficult times would last. His desire was for victory; he wanted the Lord to show up and bring life, rather than the death and despair of the enemy (v3-4).

 “But I have trusted in your steadfast love ... he has dealt bountifully with me” (v5-6). We cry out in our dark times because we trust in God’s steadfast love. He is the faithful one, and he will not fail us.
