Psalm 74:3-10
New International Version
3 Turn your steps toward these everlasting ruins,(A)
all this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary.
4 Your foes roared(B) in the place where you met with us;
they set up their standards(C) as signs.
5 They behaved like men wielding axes
to cut through a thicket of trees.(D)
6 They smashed all the carved(E) paneling
with their axes and hatchets.
7 They burned your sanctuary to the ground;
they defiled(F) the dwelling place(G) of your Name.(H)
8 They said in their hearts, “We will crush(I) them completely!”
They burned(J) every place where God was worshiped in the land.
Psalm 74:3-10

Psalm 74:3-10
King James Version
3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

Axes among the thick trees.

With axes and hammers.

They have defiled the dwelling place of Your name to the ground.

“Let us [a]destroy them altogether.”
They have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land.

Nor is there any among us who knows how long.
10 O God, how long will the adversary [b]reproach?
Will the enemy blaspheme Your name forever?
