Psalms 90:12-13 ESV
So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Return, O Lord! How long?
Have pity on your servants!
"How long" is a question repeatedly asked and ever in the minds of the scattered and persecuted Israel. It serves to identify those under the altar in Revelation, which is another clue, as the nation Israel that has incurred the wrath of God. They must wait a little while longer.
Once the days of wrath are poured out, Israel will be restored and will never again be unfaithful to God.
Revelation 6:9-10
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
