"Your enemies roared in the midst of Your meeting place. They set up their signs for signs. Let it be known how they swung their axes upward in a thicket of
trees (Psalm 74:4-5)." What is it that
Assaf wants known? The Da’at Mikra
explains that this is a prayer: "Please Hashem, let the actions of Your enemies
be known, seen and noted by You. This is
the enemy that destroyed Your sanctuary, swinging their axes like
woodcutters." Assaf wants Hashem to be
ever mindful of the contempt evinced by His enemies who treat His holy place
with disdain. Alternatively, Assaf may
be alluding to the cry of the enemies expressed in the previous verse. These enemies have boldly proclaimed their
actions, loudly stating that they have wielded their axes and destroyed G-D’s
meeting place. Assaf requests that
Hashem redeem His honor, and punish His enemies accordingly.
