Psalms 74:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 74:7

5 They seem like men who lift up
Axes among the thick trees.

6 And now they break down its carved work, all at once,
With axes and hammers.

7 They have set fire to Your sanctuary;
They have defiled the dwelling place of Your name to the ground.

8 ^aThey said in their hearts,
“Let us¹ destroy them altogether.”
They have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land.

9 We do not see our signs;
^aThere is no longer any prophet;
Nor is there any among us who knows how long.

10 O God, how long will the adversary¹ reproach?
Will the enemy blaspheme Your name forever?
