Psalms 74:4-8

4Thine enemiesH6887 roarH7580 in the midstH7130 of thy congregationsH4150; they set upH7760 their ensignsH226 for signsH226.

5A man was famousH3045 according as he had lifted upH4605 H935 axesH7134 upon the thickH5442 treesH6086.

6But now they break downH1986 the carved workH6603 thereof at onceH3162 with axesH3781 and hammersH3597.

7They have castH7971 fireH784 into thy sanctuaryH4720, they have defiledH2490 by casting down the dwelling placeH4908 of thy nameH8034 to the groundH776.1

8They saidH559 in their heartsH3820, Let us destroyH3238 them togetherH3162: they have burned upH8313 all the synagoguesH4150 of GodH410 in the landH776.2
