Psalms 74:4

74:4 Your enemies roar ¹  in the middle of your sanctuary; ² 

they set up their battle flags. ³ 

[74:4]  ¹ tn This verb is often used of a lion’s roar, so the psalmist may be comparing the enemy to a raging, devouring lion.

[74:4]  ² tn Heb “your meeting place.”

[74:4]  ³ tn Heb “they set up their banners [as] banners.” The Hebrew noun אוֹת (’ot, “sign”) here refers to the enemy army’s battle flags and banners (see Num 2:12).
