Psalm 74:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 Now we see no signs,
there are no longer any prophets,
and none of us knows how long this will last.[a]
10 How long, O God, will the foe mock you?
Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?[b]
11 Why do you hold back your right hand?
Take it out from your robe and destroy them.[c]
Footnotes
- Psalm 74:9 The people were used to asking the Prophets how long a divine punishment would last (see 2 Sam 24:13). In this case, they have had no miraculous signs of any kind, and the voice of the Prophets is absent as it has been for some time (see Ps 77:9; 1 Mac 4:46; 9:27; 14:41; Lam 2:9; Ezek 7:26).
- Psalm 74:10 Jeremiah had announced that there would be 70 years of exile (see Jer 25:11; 29:10), a round figure symbolizing a very long time (see Pss 6:4; 89:47).
- Psalm 74:11 To do battle, the warrior bared his arm from his garment (see Isa 52:10).
