1 HOW long wilt thou
aforget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou
bhide thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having asorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?a |
2a how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? This is a question that all who are this temporal fallen mortality well ask themselves. During the span of this mortality at whichever level we live, we are all subject to the frailties of the natural man, that man of corruption and subjection unto the flesh; even that or those thorns in the flesh that so easily beset us who are of this mortality. David had his advesaries including that altimate enemy Satan. So do we also. There is simularity and parallels in all these things from those who stand as the greatest and the least among us. In this failty we are the same, rich or poor, of powerful position or of the streets; the test is the same. And our goal will ever be to have the spirit within in conjunction with that Spirit from God to subject the flesh unto the will and mind of God and that way of righteousness only. | |

3 Consider and ahear
me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of
death;
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. |
||
|
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart
shall rejoice in thy asalvation.
6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. |
