5. How long, Lord? Will there be no end to these chastisements? They are most sharp and
overwhelming; wilt thou much longer continue them? Wilt thou be angry forever? Is thy mercy gone so that thou wilt forever smite? Shall thy jealousy bum like fire? There was great cause for the Lord to be jealous,
since idols had been set up, and Israel had gone aside from his worship, but
the psalmist begs the Lord not to consume his people utterly as with fire, but
to abate their woes.
