Psalm 6/Notes/Grammar.v. 4.295881

• The psalmist does not actually complete his thought in v. 4b. And you, YHWH, how long? is a sentence fragment. The broken grammar reflects the psalmist's state of dismay. If we had to supply the implied information to make a full clause, we might say, "and you, YHWH, how long will you continue to discipline me in your anger?" But the psalm itself leaves the clause incomplete (cf. GKC §147c; see also Ps 90:13).
