Tehillim. Psalm 74 - "Have You abandoned us forever?"
The Tanakh Podcast - A podcast by Alex Israel

This Psalm reflacts the dismay and bewilderment of the Exile and Temple's destruction: - God! - What about the covenant? - God! - Can't You hear them blaspheming and mocking You? - God! - Have You abandoned Your people? - God! - Where is the power of Creation, of the Exodus? This is a bold, protest Psalm that expresses paradoxically deep faith in the Jewish narrative of history.
