Psalms 78:60-72

Rotherham(i) 60 So he gave up the habitation of Shiloh, The tent he had set up among Men; 61 Yea he gave up, into captivity, his strength, And his beauty into the hand of an adversary; 62 And delivered up, to the sword, his people, And, with his own inheritance, was he wroth; 63 His young men, were devoured by fire, And, his virgins, were not praised in song; 64 His priests, by the sword, did fall, And, his widows, were not able to bewail. 65 Then awoke, as one that had slept, Adonay, As a warrior exulting with wine! 66 So he smote his adversaries in the rear, Reproach age–abiding, laid he upon them. 67 Howbeit he rejected the tent of Joseph, And, the tribe of Ephraim, did not choose: 68 But made choice of the tribe of Judah, The mountain of Zion, which he loved; 69 And built, like the heights, his sanctuary, Like the earth, he founded it to times age–abiding. 70 And made choice of David his servant, And took him from among the folds of the sheep: 71 From after the sucking ewes, he brought him in,––To be shepherd to Jacob his people, And to Israel, his inheritance. 72 So he did shepherd them, according to the singleness of his heart, And, with the discernment of his hands, used he to guide them.
