“How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?”
The continuation how long must I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all day? depicts psychological and spiritual devastation resulting from the sense of divine abandonment. The mention of taking counsel in his soul suggests internal deliberation and worry, making the speaker consumed with anxious thought. The sorrow throughout the day suggests that distress pervades every moment of existence, making recovery from the sense of abandonment seem impossible. This verse emphasizes the temporal dimension of suffering: the speaker has endured this spiritual desolation persistently.
