10. O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? Though we know not how long, yet thou dost. When God is reproached,
there is hope for us, for it may be he will hearken and avenge his dishonored
name. Wickedness has great license allowed it, and justice lingers on the road;
God has his reasons for delay, and his seasons for action, and in the end it
will be seen that he is not slack concerning his promise. Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever? He will do so forever unless thou dost give him
his final due. Wilt thou never defend thyself, and stop slanderous tongues?
Yes, it will all be ended, but not by-and-by. There is a time for the sinner to
rage, and a time in which patience bears with him; yet it is but a time.
