Psalm 74:4-8

^{Tools
4}

Your adversaries have ^(A)roared in the midst of Your meeting place;
They have set up their ^(B)own ^(a)standards ^(C)for signs.

^{Tools
5}

It seems as if one had lifted up
His ^(b)^(D)axe in a ^(c)forest of trees.

^{Tools
6}

And now ^(d)all its ^(E)carved work
They smash with hatchet and ^(e)hammers.

^{Tools
7}

They have ^(f)^(F)burned Your sanctuary ^(g)to the ground;
They have ^(G)defiled the dwelling place of Your name.

^{Tools
8}

They ^(H)said in their heart, “Let us ^(h)completely ⁽ⁱ⁾subdue them.”
They have burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
