Psalm 74:11 Context

◄ Psalm 74:11 ►

Why do You withdraw Your strong right hand? Stretch it out to destroy them!

Context

11Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand?
From within Your bosom, destroy them!

12Yet God is my king from of old,
Who works deeds of deliverance in the midst of the earth.

13You divided the sea by Your strength;
You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

14You crushed the heads of Leviathan;
You gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

15You broke open springs and torrents;
You dried up ever-flowing streams.

16Yours is the day, Yours also is the night;
You have prepared the light and the sun.

17You have established all the boundaries of the earth;
You have made summer and winter.

18Remember this, O LORD, that the enemy has reviled,
And a foolish people has spurned Your name.

19Do not deliver the soul of Your turtledove to the wild beast;
Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever.

20Consider the covenant;
For the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.

21Let not the oppressed return dishonored;
Let the afflicted and needy praise Your name.

22Arise, O God, and plead Your own cause;
Remember how the foolish man reproaches You all day long.

23Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries,
The uproar of those who rise against You which ascends continually.
