2

LORD, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you “Violence!” and will you not save?

ExplanationCommentary
EXPLANATION

Verse 2. Save. Some think that he expresses the sentiments of the weak, like David, (Psalms 72:2) or what he had formerly entertained. The language of the prophets is very bold. Exodus 32:32. Job 3:3. Jeremiah 20:14. Jonah 4:8. Calmet.

EXPLANATION

When rendered in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, “LORD” or “GOD” is the translation of God’s Proper Name (Hebrew “יהוה”, usually pronounced Yahweh).
