Psalms 74:5

Read in context

Psalms 74:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 Turn Your steps to the everlasting ruins, to everything in the sanctuary the enemy has destroyed.

4 Your foes have roared within Your meeting place; they have unfurled their banners as signs,

5 like men wielding axes in a thicket of trees

6 and smashing all the carvings with hatchets and picks.

7 They have burned Your sanctuary to the ground; they have defiled the dwelling place of Your Name.
