Psalms 74:3-7
Direct your steps to the perpetual ruins; the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!Your foes have roared in the midst of your meeting place; they set up their own signs for signs.They were like those who swing axes in a forest of trees.And all its carved wood they broke down with hatchets and hammers.They set your sanctuary on fire; they profaned the dwelling place of your name, bringing it down to the ground.
