3Turn Your steps to the everlasting ruins,
to everything in the sanctuary the enemy has destroyed.
4Your foes have roared within Your meeting place;
they have unfurled their banners as signs,
5like men wielding axes in a thicket of trees
6and smashing all the carvings with hatchets and picks.
7They have burned Your sanctuary to the ground;
they have defiled the dwelling place of Your Name.
— Psalm 74:3-7
