Tree Of Life Version

Psalms 74:3-11 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

3. Lift Your steps toward the perpetual ruins— an enemy has done all evil to the Sanctuary!

4. Your adversaries have roared in the midst of Your meeting place. They have set up their standards as signs.

5. It seemed like bringing up axes into a thicket of trees—

6. and now all its carved work they smash with hatchet and hammers!

7. They set Your Sanctuary on fire, burning it to the ground. They defiled the dwelling place of Your Name.

8. They said in their hearts: “Let us crush them totally!” They burned down all the meeting places of God in the land.

9. We do not see our signs. No longer is there any prophet— and no one among us knows how long.

10. How long, O God, will the adversary mock? Will the enemy revile Your Name forever?

11. Why do You hold back Your hand, Your right hand? Draw it out of Your bosom and consume them!
