Psalm 74

The Temple is destroyed - Each verse from 1 - 12 could be followed by a hearty "Hasa Diga Eebowai!"

At verse 12, the psalmist (Asaph) gets away from the despair and reaffirms, "Yet God is from old, working salvation in the midst of the earth." He asks God to "Have recard for thy covenant" (20) and not to "forget the clamour of thy foes, the uproar of thy adversaries which goes up continually!" (23)

It's that extra step that the Ugandans in the South Park musical don't take.
