Psalm 74:3

Prayer For Israel

² Remember thine assembly, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the portion of thine inheritance, this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. ³ Lift up thy steps unto the perpetual desolations: everything in the sanctuary hath the enemy destroyed. ⁴ Thine adversaries roar in the midst of thy place of assembly; they set up their signs for signs.
