Commentary on Psalms 6:3
The distress deepens from bones to soul. 'Sore vexed' (Hebrew 'bahal me'od') intensifies the previous verse - not just troubled but utterly dismayed. The soul ('nephesh' - life, being) encompasses the inner person. 'How long?' is not doubt but the cry of faith under trial, echoing Job and Habakkuk. This rhetorical question acknowledges God's sovereignty over timing while expressing honest anguish. It teaches that authentic faith includes lament, not just praise. Jesus Himself asked 'How long?' of His generation (Mark 9:19).
