"Your enemies roar in the middle of your sanctuary; they set up their battle flags."
— Psalms 74:4, NET Bible
“Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.”
“Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs. ”
“Your adversaries have roared in the midst of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.”
“The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.”
“Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen.”
“Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.”
A well-written song by Asaph. Why, O God, have you permanently rejected us? Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture?
Remember your people whom you acquired in ancient times, whom you rescued so they could be your very own nation, as well as Mount Zion, where you dwell!
Hurry to the permanent ruins, and to all the damage the enemy has done to the temple!
Your enemies roar in the middle of your sanctuary; they set up their battle flags.
They invade like lumberjacks swinging their axes in a thick forest.
And now they are tearing down all its engravings with axes and crowbars.
They set your sanctuary on fire; they desecrate your dwelling place by knocking it to the ground.
