Psalms 74:9
Compare all
7 They have set fire to Your sanctuary;
They have defiled the dwelling place of Your name to the ground.
8 aThey said in their hearts,
“Let us1 destroy them altogether.”
They have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land. 
9 We do not see our signs;
aThere is no longer any prophet;
Nor is there any among us who knows how long. 
10 O God, how long will the adversary1 reproach?
Will the enemy blaspheme Your name forever? 
11 aWhy do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand?
Take it out of Your bosom and destroy them. 
12 For aGod is my King from of old,
Working salvation in the midst of the earth. 
13 aYou divided the sea by Your strength;
You broke the heads of the1 sea serpents in the waters.

Psalms 74:9

Signs - Those tokens of God's gracious presence, which we used to enjoy. The temple and ark, and sacrifices, and solemn feasts, were signs between God and his people. Prophet - Who can foretell things to come. Probably Ezekiel and Jeremiah were dead when this psalm was composed; and David was involved in civil affairs, and did not teach the people as a prophet. Knoweth - How long their captivity should continue.
