Context of Psalms 74:2
1O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. 3Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary. 4Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; they have set up their ensigns for signs.
