Psalms 74:20 meaning and explanation
Consider Your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
Psalms 74:20, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The speaker is Asaph, a temple singer lamenting the destruction of the sanctuary, and here he pleads with God to look at the covenant, the binding agreement that made Israel God's people, and to act because of it rather than because of their merit. The second line describes a land where violence has taken over the dark, hidden places, so that no safe or quiet corner remains.
