MLV(i)
2 Remember your congregation, which you bought them of long-ago, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance and Mount Zion, at which you have dwelt.
3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary. 4 Your adversaries have roared in the midst of your assembly. They have set up their ensigns for signs.
5 They seemed as men who lifted up axes upon a thicket of trees. 6 And now they break down all the carved work of it with hatchet and hammers.
7 They have set your sanctuary on fire. They have profaned the dwelling-place of your name to the ground. 8 They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether. They have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
