Contextual Overview
A maskil of Asaph.
God, why have you turned away from us for so long? Why are you still angry with us, your own flock? 2 Remember the people you bought so long ago. You saved us, and we belong to you. And remember Mount Zion, the place where you lived. 3 God, come walk through these ancient ruins. Come back to the Holy Place that the enemy destroyed. 4 The enemy shouted their war cries in the Temple. They put up their flags there to show they had won the war. 5 Their soldiers attacked the doors, like workmen chopping down trees. 6 Using axes and hatchets, they smashed the carved panels inside. 7 They burned down your Holy Place. It was built to honor your name, but they pulled it down to the ground. 8 The enemy decided to crush us completely. They burned every holy place in the country. 9 We do not see any of our signs. There are no more prophets. And no one knows how long this will last. 10 God, how much longer will the enemy make fun of us? Will you let them insult your name forever?Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary,.... Or, "thy sanctuary into the fire" o; which denotes the utter destruction of it by fire, which was done both by the Chaldean and Roman armies; see
2 Kings 25:9,
they have defiled, by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground, or "to the earth they have defiled the habitation of thy name" p; that is, to the last and lowest degree; this Antiochus did when he set up an idol in the temple, and Titus when he laid it level with the ground, not leaving one stone upon another, as our Lord predicted, Matthew 24:1 the aggravation of which was, that it was the place where the Lord had put his name, where his name was called upon, and where was the symbol of his presence.
o באש מקדשך "in ignem sanctuaria tua", Pagninus, Vatablus; so Cocceius, Gejerus, Michaelis. p לארץ חללו משכן שמך "ad terram usque prophanarunt tabernaculum, vel habitationem nominis tui", Musculus, Gejerus, Michaelis; so Cocceius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary - Into the temple to destroy it. Literally, “They have cast thy sanctuary into the fire.” The meaning is, that they had burned it down. This was actually done by the Chaldeans, 2 Kings 25:9; 2 Chronicles 36:19.
They have defiled by casting down the dwelling-place of thy name to the ground - The place where thy name dwelt or was recorded Exodus 20:24; that is, the place where God’s name was known, or where he was worshipped. The literal meaning is, “To the earth they have defiled the dwelling of thy name?” The idea is, that they had defiled or polluted the temple by throwing it to the ground; by making it a heap of ruins; by making it undistinguishable from common earth.
