Psalm 74:3

Prayer For Israel

² Remember Your congregation,
which You purchased long ago
and redeemed as the tribe for Your own possession.
Remember Mount Zion where You dwell.
³ Make Your way to the everlasting ruins,
to all that the enemy has destroyed in the sanctuary.
⁴ Your adversaries roared in the meeting place
where You met with us.
They set up their emblems as signs.
