This psalm was written during a time of national crisis when the psalmist felt God was absent or silent. The author (possibly Asaph) was struggling with despair and questioning whether God had forgotten His people. In ancient Hebrew culture, remembering God's 'right hand' referred to His mighty acts of power and deliverance throughout history.
