Psalm 74:7-8
The Message
4-8 While your people were at worship, your enemies barged in,
brawling and scrawling graffiti.
They set fire to the porch;
axes swinging, they chopped up the woodwork,
Beat down the doors with sledgehammers,
then split them into kindling.
They burned your holy place to the ground,
violated the place of worship.
They said to themselves, “We’ll wipe them all out,”
and burned down all the places of worship.
Psalm 74:7
New King James Version
7 They have set fire to Your sanctuary;
They have defiled the dwelling place of Your name to the ground.
Psalm 74:7
English Standard Version
7 They (A)set your sanctuary on fire;
they (B)profaned (C)the dwelling place of your name,
bringing it down to the ground.
