Psalms 74:3-12

³Come look at the complete ruins, all the damage that the enemy has done in the holy place.

⁴Your adversaries roared in the middle of your appointed place; they set up their battle flags.

⁵They hacked away with axes as in a thick forest.

⁶They smashed and broke down all the engravings; they broke them with axes and hammers.

⁷They set your sanctuary on fire; they desecrated where you live, knocking it to the ground.

⁸They said in their hearts, “We will destroy them all.” They burned up all of your meeting places in the land.

⁹We do not see any more signs; there is no prophet any more, and no one among us knows how long this will last.

¹⁰How long, God, will the enemy throw insults at you? Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?

¹¹Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take your right hand from your garment and destroy them.

¹²Yet God has been my king from ancient times, bringing salvation on the earth.
