Psalms 74:3

Lift up thy feet, &c.— Lift up thy feet because of perpetual desolations. The phrase lift up thy feet, signifies no more than come, or return. God had deserted his sanctuary, and the Shechinah had gone up from between the cherubims. See Ezekiel 10:4. In consequence of which, the heathen people had invaded that holy place, and laid it waste. The perpetual desolations, signify those ruins of the city and country which had lasted so very long.
