Psalms 74:5 in Context (Verses 2–8 KJV)
2
Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.*
3
Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4
Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
5
A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6
But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.*
8
They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.*
