4 Your enemies have roared in the midst of your meeting place; they have set up their signs for signs.
5 They are known to be like those who wield axes in a thicket of trees.
6 And now its carved works altogether they have smashed with axe and hammer.
7 They have set fire to your sanctuary. They have defiled to the ground, the dwelling place for your name.
8 They have said in their heart, “We will completely oppress them.” They burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
9 We do not see our signs, and there is no longer a prophet. No one with us knows how long.
10 How long, O God, will the adversary taunt? Will the enemy treat your name with contempt forever?
