let it.
 Faith recognizes that it is God’s purpose to bless His people, and therefore faith knows there must be an end to the time of affliction and sorrow in the governmental ways of God. Thus faith says “How long?” This is the language of faith and hope―of faith in the purpose of God to bless, and hope that reaches out to the coming blessing. (Psalms 90 by H. Smith)
 But when once we feel our nothingness and apply our hearts to wisdom, the beginning of which is the fear of Jehovah, instead of God's having to enforce it by subduing our will, and correcting our carelessness, the heart gets courage, gets bold. It is not reasoning, but by grace confidence is restored, and the heart says, “Return; O Lord, how long?” (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 90-93 by J.N. Darby)
 This leads them to call upon the Lord to return and deliver them (vs. 13-17). (Book 4. by B. Anstey)
