3 (73:3) Lift up thine hands against their pride continually; because of all that the enemy has done wickedly in thy holy places.
4 (73:4) And they that hate thee have boasted in the midst of thy feast; they have set up their standards for signs,
5 (73:5) ignorantly as it were in the entrance above;
6 (73:6) they cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter.
7 (73:7) They have burnt thy sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of thy name.
8 (73:8) They have said in their heart, even all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth.
9 (73:9) We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and God will not know us any more.
10 (73:10) How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke thy name forever?
11 (73:11) Wherefore turnest thou away thine hand, and thy right hand from the midst of thy bosom for ever?
