Psalms 74:4-10

⁴Thine adversaries roar in the midst of thy place of assembly; they set up their signs for signs.

⁵A man was known as he could lift up axes in the thicket of trees;

⁶And now they break down its carved work altogether, with hatchets and hammers.

⁷They have set on fire thy sanctuary, they have profaned the habitation of thy name to the ground.

⁸They said in their heart, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all God's places of assembly 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 contemn thy name for ever?
