Context of Psalms 74:3
1O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thy anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? 2Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, in which thou hast dwelt. Lift up thy feet to the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. 4Thy enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their banners for signs. 5A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
