“Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.”
The prayer for compassion: "Turn back, O LORD! How long? Have compassion on your servants!" The plea for God to turn from wrath toward compassion becomes urgent. The question "how long?" expresses that the period of wrath has extended long enough.
