A Cry of Longing, Not Doubt
Commentators explain that the phrase "Oh that the salvation...were come" is a Hebrew expression of intense, passionate desire. It's not a question of who will save, but an earnest plea for when God will act. This verse models how believers can cry out to God from a place of deep longing for His intervention in a broken world, confident that He alone is the source of salvation from "Zion," His dwelling place.
