Psalm 74:3-8
New American Standard Bible
3 [a]Step toward the [b](A)irreparable ruins;
The enemy (B)has damaged everything in the sanctuary.
4 Your adversaries have (C)roared in the midst of Your meeting place;
They have set up their (D)own signs as (E)signs.
5 It [c]seems like one bringing up
His (F)axe into a [d]forest of trees.
6 And now they break down [e]all its (G)carved work
With axe and hammers.
7 They have [f](H)burned Your sanctuary [g]to the ground;
They have (I)defiled the dwelling place of Your name.
8 They (J)said in their heart, “Let’s [h]completely [i]subdue them.”
They have burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

they set up their standards(C) as signs.

to cut through a thicket of trees.(D)

with their axes and hatchets.
7 They burned your sanctuary to the ground;
they defiled(F) the dwelling place(G) of your Name.(H)

Lamentations 1:10

10 The adversary has stretched out his hand
Over all her precious things,
For she has seen the (A)nations enter her sanctuary,
The ones whom You commanded
That they were (B)not to enter Your congregation.
