Psalms 74:4-8

4Your adversaries have 1roared in the midst of Your meeting place; They have set up their 2own 3standards 4for signs.5It seems as if one had lifted up His 56axe in a 7forest of trees.6And now 8all its 9carved work They smash with hatchet and 10hammers.7They have 1112burned Your sanctuary 13to the ground; They have 14defiled the dwelling place of Your name.8They 15said in their heart, “Let us 16completely 17subdue them.” They have burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
