Psalms 74:5 in Context — Psalms 74

3 Porte tes pas vers ces lieux constamment dévastés! L’ennemi a tout ravagé dans le sanctuaire.

4 Tes adversaires ont rugi au milieu de ton temple; Ils ont établi pour signes leurs signes.

5 On les a vus, pareils à celui qui lève La cognée dans une épaisse forêt;

6 Et bientôt ils ont brisé toutes les sculptures, A coups de haches et de marteaux.

7 Ils ont mis le feu à ton sanctuaire; Ils ont abattu, profané la demeure de ton nom.
