Context of Psalms 74:12
10How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy contemn thy name for ever? 11Why withdrawest thou thy hand, and thy right hand? [pluck it] out of thy bosom: consume [them]. But God is my king of old, accomplishing deliverances in the midst of the earth. 13Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength; thou didst break the heads of the monsters on the waters: 14Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert.
