60 Then He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent He had made to tabernacle among humanity."
61 He sent His strength into captivity, And His beauty into the hand of the foe."
62 He closed His people over to the sword, And He was enraged with His allotment."
63 Fire devoured their choice young men, And their virgins had no nuptial song."
64 Their priests fell by the sword, Yet their widows could not lament."
65 Then Yahweh awoke as from sleep, Like a master jubilant from wine."
66 He smote His foes backward; He gave them an eonian reproach.
67 He rejected the tent of Joseph, And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim."
68 Yet He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loves;"
69 And He built His Sanctuary like the heights of heaven, Like the earth that He founded for the eon."
70 He chose David, His servant, And He took him from the folds of the flock;"
71 From following the ewes, He brought him To shepherd Jacob, His people, And Israel, His allotment."
72 So he shepherded them in the integrity of his heart, And by the understanding of his palms, he guided them."
