PSALMS 74:2-10

²Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

³Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.

⁴Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; they have set up their ensigns for signs.

⁵They seemed as men that lifted up axes upon a thicket of trees.

⁶And now all the carved work thereof together they break down with hatchet and hammers.

⁷They have set thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling place of thy name even to the ground.

⁸They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

⁹We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

¹⁰How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
