“How long, Lord? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?”
The awareness of mortality: "Remember how short my time is; for what vanity you have created all mortals!" The recognition of human brevity introduces the question of why, given short lifespans, God prolongs suffering. The vanity of human existence becomes poignant.
