Commentary on Psalms 74:3
Theological / DevotionalLift up thy feet. The psalmist beseeches God to come quickly to visit the ruins of Mt. Zion and to intervene.
Perpetual desolations. Ruins so extensive as to appear complete and permanent. It seemed that they would never be built again.
Hath done. The Babylonians had carried off everything that was valuable (see 2 Kings 25:13–17), and had set fire to the Temple (see Ps. 74:7). A description of the desecration follows in vs. 4–8. These details tend to establish the historical background of the psalm, as given in the Introduction.
