Context of Psalms 74:7
5[A man] was known as he could lift up axes in the thicket of trees; 6And now they break down its carved work altogether, with hatchets and hammers. They have set on fire thy sanctuary, they have profaned the habitation of thy name to the ground. 8They said in their heart, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all God's places of assembly in the land. 9We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet, neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
