Psalms 74:6-12

⁶They have broken down the carved work of thy temple with axes and hammers;

⁷They have cast fire into thy sanctuary; They have profaned, and cast to the ground, the dwelling-place of thy name.

⁸They said in their hearts, “Let us destroy them all together!” They have burned all God's places of assembly in the land.

⁹We no longer see our signs; There is no prophet among us, Nor any one that knoweth how long this desolation shall endure.

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

¹¹Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? Take it from thy bosom, and destroy!

¹²Yet God was our king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
