I am absolutely terrified, and you, Lord -- how long will this continue?

For the music director; a psalm of David. How long, Lord, will you continue to ignore me? How long will you pay no attention to me?

O Lord, how long are you going to just stand there and watch this? Rescue me from their destructive attacks; guard my life from the young lions!

How long will this go on, O Lord? Will you stay angry forever? How long will your rage burn like fire?

How long, O Lord, will this last? Will you remain hidden forever? Will your anger continue to burn like fire?

O Lord, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked celebrate?

How long, Lord, must I cry for help? But you do not listen! I call out to you, "Violence!" But you do not intervene!

The angel of the Lord then asked, "Lord who rules over all, how long before you have compassion on Jerusalem and the other cities of Judah which you have been so angry with for these seventy years?"
