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 ennemis ont rugi au milieu de tes parvis; ils y ont mis pour signes leurs signes.
5 Ils s'y font voir comme des gens élevant les haches dans l'épaisseur d'un bois.
6 Et déjà ils en brisent toutes les sculptures, avec des cognées et des marteaux.
7 Ils ont mis en feu ton sanctuaire; ils ont jeté à terre, profané la demeure de ton nom.
8 Ils ont dit en leur cœur: Détruisons-les tous! Ils ont brûlé toutes les synagogues de Dieu dans le pays.
