“O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?”
The question about how long the enemy will revile and the adversary will spurn the name articulates the urgency of the petition: how much longer must the profanation continue? The reference to reviling the name indicates that the enemies are insulting God's character. This verse transforms lament into petition for intervention.
