Psalms 74:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 74:4
The psalmist describes enemy desecration: "Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs" (Hebrew sha-agu tzorereycha b-qerev mo-adekha shamu ototam otot). "Roar" (Hebrew shaag) describes beasts or warriors—barbaric conquest. "Congregations" (Hebrew mo-adim) are appointed meeting places with God. The enemies plant their military standards where worship should occur. This verse captures the horror of sacred space profaned, divine appointments violated. God's dwelling becomes enemy territory.
