Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 13. - Return, O Lord, how long? rather, turn, O Lord; i.e. "turn from thy anger - how long will it be ere thou turnest?" And let it repent thee concerning thy servants. God "is not a man, that he should repent" (Numbers 23:19); and yet from time to time "it repents him concerning his servants" (Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalm 135:14). He relents, that is, from his fierce anger, allows himself to be appeased, and has compassion upon those who have provoked him.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) Return.--Better, turn, either from anger (Exodus 32:12), or merely as in Psalm 6:4, "turn to thy servant."Plainly we have here the experience of some particular epoch, and a prayer for Israel. From his meditation on the shortness of human existence the poet does not pass to a prayer for a prolonged life for himself, like Hezekiah, but for some intervention in relief of the suffering community of which he forms. part.How long?--See Note, Psalm 74:9.Let it repent thee.--Better, have pity on. (See Deuteronomy 32:36.) . . .
