Psalm 74:3-8

Legacy Standard Bible

³ Lift up Your steps toward the ^(A)perpetual ruins;
The enemy ^(B)has damaged everything within the sanctuary.
⁴ Your adversaries have ^(C)roared in the midst of Your meeting place;
They have set up their ^(D)own signs ^(E)for signs.
⁵ Each seems like one who lifts up
^[a]An ^(F)axe against the undergrowth of trees.
⁶ And now its ^(G)carved work altogether
They smash with hatchet and ^[b]hammers.
⁷ They have ^(H)set Your sanctuary on fire;
By bringing it to the ground, they have ^(I)defiled the dwelling place of Your name.
⁸ They ^(J)said in their heart, “Let us ^[c]completely ^[d]subdue them.”
They have burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
