As King David, peace be upon him, prayed in Psalm ע''ד: {The simple understanding: When Israel had finally been given permission to build the בית המיקדש, for which they needed to chop trees, they regarded (יודע) this task as if they were bringing a gift of axes in the thicket of trees (בסבך עץ קרדומות) to (למעלה) on high.} Rather, the נפש החיים explains that David prayed that [Nebuchadnezzar and Titus] should be regarded as if they had actually destroyed the upper [מרומים] realm, although truthfully, their actions did not touch/reach (לא נגעו) there [to the מקדש של מעלה] in any way, as we explained above.
