Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Psalm 74:13 stands among the psalms linked to the Babylonian captivity, belonging to the songs that give voice to that exile. Those psalms express the sorrow and desolation of the captives, together with their longing and their prayers for deliverance.
The verse also belongs to a prophecy of the destruction of the sanctuary exactly parallel to Daniel. It shows that the sanctuary first connected with the tabernacle, and afterward with the temple on Mount Moriah, was destroyed by fire and burned to the ground.
