Psalms 74:8-15

⁸They said to themselves, “Let's destroy it all!” So they burned down every place where God was worshiped throughout the land.

⁹We no longer see any signs. There are no prophets left. And no one among us knows how long this will last.

¹⁰How long will the enemy ridicule you, God? Will they insult your character forever?

¹¹Why do you hold back from doing something? Take action and destroy them!

¹²But you, God, are our king from long ago. You have saved us many times in the land.

¹³You were the one who split apart the sea by your strength; you broke the heads of the sea monsters.

¹⁴You were the one who crushed the heads of Leviathan, and you gave its body to the desert animals to eat.

¹⁵You were the one who made springs and rivers flow with water. You made permanent rivers dry up.
