"How long...?"
I can totally relate to that feeling when something has been going on for too long, and it's kinda making life miserable. Sometimes, a problem has been there for a long time that you stop noticing it and start getting used to being in pain, to struggling. But as we know, that doesn't last very long. I mean, there's only so much that a lowly earthling can bear, and so the pain sucks the life out of you, like a leech, and you don't know how to make it stop. Hence, the enemy starts to think he is victorious.
Not giving up is good, but you can not give up and also not fight, and not fighting is even worse than losing.
Despite all the baggages (like time bombs waiting to tik-tik-boom!), David found security in God, whose love NEVER fails. He rejoiced for the knowledge that God will save Him, and he even goes on to say that God has been good. He wasn't in a comfortable situation, obviously, but his song was a song of PRAISE to God, not of heartache and frustration. How peaceful and secure he must have been to be able to sing praises to God even with a burdened heart! What faith!
