Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 6:3

"My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?" — Psalms 6:3 (ASV)

But thou, O Lord, how long? (Compare to Psalm 90:13.) This is “belief in unbelief.” Domine quousque was Calvin’s motto. The most intense grief, it was said, could never extract from him another word. In its national form this faith amid despair is shown in Zechariah 1:12 (Compare to Revelation 6:10.)
