Context of Psalms 74:10
8They said to themselves, ‘We will completely destroy them all.’ So they burned down every place in the land where people meet to worship God. 9We no longer see any signs that God is with us. There are no more prophets among us. Nobody can tell us how long this will continue. God, how long will our enemies laugh at you? Will they insult your name for ever? 11Why do you do nothing to help us? Use your power now to punish them! 12God, you have been my king from the beginning. You have done great things to rescue us all over the earth.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? - How long shall this state of things be allowed to continue? Is there to be no end to it? Are these desolations never to be repaired - these ruins never to be rebuilt? It “seemed” so; and hence, this earnest appeal. So to us it often appears as if our trials were never to come to an end.
