Bible verse
Why do You withdraw Your strong right hand? Stretch it out to destroy them!
Psalm 74:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 74.
7 They have burned Your sanctuary to the ground; they have defiled the dwelling place of Your Name.
8 They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely.” They burned down every place where God met us in the land.
9 There are no signs for us to see. There is no longer any prophet. And none of us knows how long this will last.
10 How long, O God, will the enemy taunt You? Will the foe revile Your name forever?
11 Why do You withdraw Your strong right hand? Stretch it out to destroy them!
12 Yet God is my King from ancient times, working salvation on the earth.
13 You divided the sea by Your strength; You smashed the heads of the dragons of the sea;
14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan; You fed him to the creatures of the desert.
15 You broke open the fountain and the flood; You dried up the ever-flowing rivers.
