Context of Psalms 74:2
1O God, why have You rejected us forever? Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture? Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old, Which You have redeemed to be the tribe of Your inheritance; And this Mount Zion, where You have dwelt. 3Turn Your footsteps toward the perpetual ruins; The enemy has damaged everything within the sanctuary. 4Your adversaries have roared in the midst of Your meeting place; They have set up their own standards for signs.
