Psalms 74:3-7 in English

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

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

⁷ They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name by casting it to the ground.

³ When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.

⁴ The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. Pause.

⁵ I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.

⁶ Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.
