• How long? God cannot cast off forever those who trust in Him: light will spring up. There is relationship with God, and faith counts on it. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 5-18” by J.N. Darby)
• When the believer has peace, he looks at discipline, even when justly severe, in the sense of certain divine favor. Hence his horror of sin is of a much purer kind, for it abhors the sin and not its consequences. It may be that the fiery darts of the wicked reach him or that dread threatens him at least. He looks through it to God's mercy and faithfulness. His faith through Christ's intercession does not fail. Still this is a terrible state; but the heart clings to God and can say, How long? (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 5-18” by J.N. Darby)
