Psalm 74:3-7

^{Tools
3}

^(a)Turn Your footsteps toward the ^(A)perpetual ruins;
The enemy ^(B)has damaged everything within the sanctuary.

^{Tools
4}

Your adversaries have ^(C)roared in the midst of Your meeting place;
They have set up their ^(D)own ^(b)standards ^(E)for signs.

^{Tools
5}

It seems as if one had lifted up
His ^(c)^(F)axe in a ^(d)forest of trees.

^{Tools
6}

And now ^(e)all its ^(G)carved work
They smash with hatchet and ^(f)hammers.

^{Tools
7}

They have ^(g)^(H)burned Your sanctuary ^(h)to the ground;
They have ^(I)defiled the dwelling place of Your name.
