Psalm 74:5-7

^{Tools
5}

It seems as if one had lifted up
His ^(a)^(A)axe in a ^(b)forest of trees.

^{Tools
6}

And now ^(c)all its ^(B)carved work
They smash with hatchet and ^(d)hammers.

^{Tools
7}

They have ^(e)^(C)burned Your sanctuary ^(f)to the ground;
They have ^(D)defiled the dwelling place of Your name.
