Psalm 74:3-7

^{Tools
3}

Make Your way^(a) to the everlasting ruins,
to all that the enemy has destroyed in the sanctuary.^(A)

^{Tools
4}

Your adversaries roared in the meeting place
where You met with us.^(b)
They set up their emblems as signs.^(B)

^{Tools
5}

It was like men in a thicket of trees,
wielding axes,^(C)

^{Tools
6}

then smashing all the carvings
with hatchets and picks.^(D)

^{Tools
7}

They set Your sanctuary on fire;
they utterly^(c) desecrated
the dwelling place of Your name.^(E)
