|Background Ideas=<ul><li>The question "How long? signals lament. It it not really a question, but rather, in speech act terms, an expressive. Similar expressions are known from ancient Mesopotamia, often in prayers for healing.</li>
<li> Sickness was viewed as just as dire a situation as a battle wound, brought on by men's curses and overcome by YHWH's compassion.</li>
<li> The expression "to hide one's face" is used several times in the Psalms, in the sense of turning a blind eye to the suffering of the innocent (Pss 10:11; 13:2; 22:25; 27:9; 30:8; 44:25; 51:11; 69:18; 88:15; 102:3; 104:29 (obj.: animals); 143:7).</li>
<li> YHWH promised to David that: <ul>
<li> he would one day be king (1 Sam 16:1, 12), </li>
<li> his house and kingdom would be established forever (2 Sam 7:16).</li></ul></li></ul>
