3. Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? Shall
wrong forever rule? Are slavery, robbery, tyranny never to cease? Since there
is certainly a just God in heaven, armed with almighty power, surely there must
be sooner or later an end to the ascendancy of evil, innocence must one day find
a defender. This how long? of the text is the bitter plaint of all the
righteous in all ages, and expresses wonder caused by that great enigma of
providence, the existence and predominance of evil. In due time God will
publish his reply, but the full end is not yet.
