Asaph continues his plea to God. It's sort of a re-centering saying, "You're still our God, we're still your people." He recounts the way God saved them from their enemies, presumably the Philistines, and how they have nothing left, no prophets, no place to worship, and no real hope.
Asaph paints a bleak picture of a people who have turned away from God and who now realize that their salvation and success is only from God, who has turned away, who has lifted his hand of protection, allowing their destruction. God, the ultimate power, and the dominion over creation is the only one who can restore Israel, and who can put a stop to the mockery of his name.
But who is really doing the mocking?
