Psalms 74:4-11

The Enemy’s Desecration of the Sanctuary

Psalms 74:4-11
4
The roar of your foes filled your meeting-place; they raised their own banners as a sign of their conquest.
5
The place seemed like a thicket of trees when lumbermen hack away with their axes.
6
With hatchet and hammer they banged away, smashing all the carved woodwork.
7
They set your sanctuary on fire, tore down and profaned the abode of your name.
8
They said to themselves, "We will oppress them completely."They have burned down all God's meeting-places in the land.
9
We see no signs, there is no prophet any more; none of us knows how long it will last.
10
How much longer, God, will the foe jeer at us? Will the enemy insult your name forever?
11
Why do you hold back your hand? Draw your right hand from your coat, and finish them off!
