Context of Psalms 74:10
8They said to themselves, “We will crush them.” They burned every meeting place of God in the land. 9We no longer see miraculous signs. There are no prophets anymore. No one knows how long this will last. How long, O God, will the enemy insult us? Will the enemy despise you forever? 11Why do you hold back your hand, especially your right hand? Take your hands out of your pockets. Destroy your enemies! 12And yet, from long ago God has been my king, the one who has been victorious throughout the earth.
