Psalms 78:56-71

56But they tested and disobeyed God Most High, for they did not keep His decrees.57They turned back and were faithless like their fathers, twisted like a faulty bow.58They enraged Him with their high places and provoked His jealousy with their idols.

59On hearing it, God was furiousand rejected Israel completely.60He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,the tent He had pitched among men.61He delivered His strength to captivity,and His splendor to the hand of the adversary.62He surrendered His people to the swordbecause He was enraged by His heritage.63Fire consumed His young men,and their maidens were left without wedding songs.64His priests fell by the sword,but their widows could not lament.
65Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,like a mighty warrior overcome by wine.66He beat back His foes;He put them to everlasting shame.67He rejected the tent of Josephand refused the tribe of Ephraim.68But He chose the tribe of Judah,Mount Zion, which He loved.69He built His sanctuary like the heights,like the earth He has established forever.
70He chose David His servantand took him from the sheepfolds;71from tending the ewes He brought himto be shepherd of His people Jacob,of Israel His inheritance.
