Psalm 74:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 74:6

But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with
axes and hammers.
] Formerly it was an honour to be employed in cutting down a tree for the building of the temple; but now so little regard was paid to it, that all its fine carved work, which Solomon made, ( 1 Kings 6:18 1 Kings 6:29 1 Kings 6:30 ) , was demolished at once in a rude and furious manner with axes and hammers; which was done either by the Chaldeans in Nebuchadnezzar's time, or by the Syrians in the times of Antiochus, or by the Romans in the times of Vespasian; the first seems intended; see ( Jeremiah 46:22 Jeremiah 46:23 ) .

Psalm 74:6 In-Context

4 Tes adversaires ont rugi au milieu de ton temple; Ils ont établi pour signes leurs signes.
5 On les a vus, pareils à celui qui lève La cognée dans une épaisse forêt;
6 Et bientôt ils ont brisé toutes les sculptures, A coups de haches et de marteaux.
7 Ils ont mis le feu à ton sanctuaire; Ils ont abattu, profané la demeure de ton nom.
8 Ils disaient en leur coeur: Traitons-les tous avec violence! Ils ont brûlé dans le pays tous les lieux saints.
