62:3-4 To the Attackers: We Know What You Want. The next section speaks to those who attack a man, particularly using lies and injustice. As indicated in the note on 13:1-2, the expression how long is not asking for information but is expressing the sense that the behavior has gone on far too long already. The purpose of singing this is to remind the godly that such attacks have only (Hb. ’ak, cf. 63:1-2) one plan, and only one pleasure. There is thus only one safe recourse: trust in God (preparing for the next section).
