Psalm 74:10-12
New Catholic Bible
10 How long, O God, will the foe mock you?
Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?[a]
11 Why do you hold back your right hand?
Take it out from your robe and destroy them.[b]
12 Yet you, O God, are my King from of old,
working deeds of salvation throughout the earth.
