Psalms 74:3

There is no record that any of Israel’s enemies ever destroyed Israel’s central sanctuary in David’s day, or the temple in Solomon’s, to the extent that this verse implies. Perhaps Asaph was speaking hyperbolically, namely, describing the destruction in extreme terms for the sake of the effect. Probably this description is of what took place when the Babylonians destroyed the temple in 586 B.C. This would mean the writer was an Asaph who lived much later than David’s day, or perhaps Asaph stands for the order of musicians he headed. Another possibility is that this psalm is a prophecy.
