Context of Psalms 74:10

8They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely!” They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land. 9We are given no signs from God; no prophets are left, and none of us knows how long this will be. How long will the enemy mock you, God? Will the foe revile your name forever? 11Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take it from the folds of your garment and destroy them! 12But God is my King from long ago; he brings salvation on the earth.
