Psalm 74 starts with the the question: "O God, why have You rejected us forever?"
This sets the tone for the next several verses, questions and pleading directed to God. The reader asks God to remember His congregation and the land where he gave to His people. His enemies have set up signs of their victory and there has been much destruction to the Lord's sanctuary.
By verse 12, the true nature of the Lord is revealed by casting His salvation in the midst of the destruction. The Lord divided the Red Sea and crushed His enemies in Egypt. He provided food for His people, broke open fountains and streams, and even dried up rivers. The Lord is the One who created light and the earth, creating the various seasons.
Despite the destruction that has been cast on His people, that is nothing when compared to the awesome might of our Lord.
