Psalms 74:10

Compare all

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 74:10

O God, how long shall the adversary reproach?... - How long shall this state of things be allowed to continue? Is there to be no end to it? Are these desolations never to be repaired - these ruins never to be rebuilt? It "seemed" so; and hence, this earnest appeal. So to us it often appears as if our trials were never to come to an end. One calamity succeeds another; and there comes no relief. Yet there is relief. Deliverance may come, and soon come, in the present life; or if not in the present life, yet to all those who are the children of God it will soon come by their removal to a world where trial will be forever unknown.
