Psalm 74: Lord, defend yourself!

In Psalm 74, the first temple of Jerusalem was already destroyed. The people of the Lord was mistreated. How can the Creator of the Universe let his people in this condition! There is not so much to them to do but to pray to the Lord and ask:

22 Arise, O Elohim!

    Fight for your own cause!

    Remember how godless fools insult you all day long.

23 Do not forget the shouting of your opponents.

    Do not forget the uproar made by those who attack you.

There are times when I forget that the Lord is a live God. He is the one who defends me, but there were moments when I wanted to defend the Lord.
