Psalms 74:6 Context
4Thine enemies roare in the midst of thy congregations: they set vp their ensignes for signes. 5A man was famous according as he had lifted vp axes vpon the thicke trees. 6But now they breake downe the carued worke thereof at once, with axes and hammers. 7They haue cast fire into thy Sanctuary, they haue defiled by casting downe, the dwelling place of thy Nawe to the ground. 8They said in their hearts, Let vs destroy them together: they haue burnt vp all the Synagogues of God in the land.

Wesley's Notes for Psalms 74:6
74:6 Axes and hammers - These words are not Hebrew, but Chaldee or Syriack, to point out the time when this was done, even when the Chaldeans brought in their language, together with their arms, among the Israelites.
