Psalms 78:67-72

67He rejected the tent of Joseph and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.

68He chose instead the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loved.

69He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that he established forever.

70He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens;

71he brought him from tending ewes to be shepherd over his people Jacob — over Israel, his inheritance.

72He shepherded them with a pure heart and guided them with his skillful hands.
