Psalm 74:4-8 Part 3 of 3

Your foes roared in the place where you met with us; they set up their standards as signs. They behaved like men wielding axes to cut through a thicket of trees. They smashed all the carved paneling with their axes and hatchets. They burned your sanctuary to the ground; they defiled the dwelling place of your Name. They said in their hearts, "We will crush them completely!" They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land.

We will crush them completely! 
Psalm 94:5  They crush your people, LORD; they oppress your inheritance.

They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land
