Psalms 74:5-13

⁵As in a wood of trees, they hewed down with axes the gates thereof into itself;

⁶they casted down it with an ax, and a broad falling ax.

⁷They burnt with fire thy saintuary; they defouled the tabernacle of thy name in earth.

⁸The kindred of them said together in their heart; Make we all the feast days of God to cease in the earth.

⁹We have not seen our signs, now there is no prophet; and he shall no more know us.

¹⁰God, how long shall the enemy say despite? the adversary stirreth to ire thy name into the end.

¹¹Why turnest thou away thine hand, to not draw out thy right hand from the midst of thy bosom, till into the end?

¹²Forsooth God our king before worlds, wrought health in the midst of the earth.

¹³Thou madest firm the sea by thy virtue; thou hast troubled the heads of the dragons in waters.
