Commentary on Psalm 74:7 (Summary)

Psalm 74:7 (ESV)

7 They set your sanctuary on fire; they profaned the dwelling place of your name, bringing it down to the ground.

The house of the Lord was desecrated to the ground. In this verse, the temple is called the dwelling place of your name, indicating that God’s name is closely connected to the temple. The destruction of the temple publicly humiliates God.
