Psalms 78:60-72

Brenton(i) 60 (77:60) And he rejected the tabernacle of Selom, his tent where he dwelt among men. 61 (77:61) And he gave their strength into captivity, and their beauty into the enemy's hand. 62 (77:62) And he gave his people to the sword; and disdained his inheritance. 63 (77:63) Fire devoured their young men; and their virgins mourned not. 64 (77:64) Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows shall not be wept for. 65 (77:65) So the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and as a mighty man who has been heated with wine. 66 (77:66) And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he brought on them a perpetual reproach. 67 (77:67) And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim; 68 (77:68) but chose the tribe of Juda, the mount Sion which he loved. 69 (77:69) And he built his sanctuary as the place of unicorns; he founded it for ever on the earth. 70 (77:70) He chose David also his servant, and took him up from the flocks of sheep. 71 (77:71) He took him from following the ewes great with young, to be the shepherd of Jacob his servant, and Israel his inheritance. 72 (77:72) So he tended them in the innocency of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
