Psalms 74:5 in context

Psalms 74:2–8

2

Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old,

which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance:

Mount Zion, in which you have lived.

3

Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins,

all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.

4

Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your assembly.

They have set up their standards as signs.

5
Selected verse

They behaved like men wielding axes,

cutting through a thicket of trees.

6

Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.

7

They have burned your sanctuary to the ground.

They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.

8

They said in their heart, “We will crush them completely.”

They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
