Commentary on Psalms 74:4

Theological / Devotional

Roar. The reference is to the tumult of war, the invading despoilers being likened to wild beasts (see Isa. 5:29; Jer. 2:15).

Ensigns. They impudently set up their battle standards in place of the true emblems of Jehovah. The holy place fell under the sway of a foreign power (see Num. 2:2). Pagan standards set up in the Temple marked the height of ignominy for the Jews.
