Psalms 78:56-71

56But they tempted and provoked 1God, the Most High, and kept not his testimonies,57And they drew back and dealt treacherously like their fathers: they turned like a deceitful bow.58And they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.59 2God heard, and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:60And he forsook the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he had dwelt among men,61And gave his strength into captivity, and his glory into the hand of the oppressor;62And delivered up his people unto the sword, and was very wroth with his inheritance:63The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not praised in [nuptial] song;64Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.65Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth aloud by reason of wine;66And he smote his adversaries in the hinder part, and put them to everlasting reproach.67And he rejected the tent of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim,68But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved;69And he built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he hath founded for ever.70And he chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:71From following the suckling-ewes, he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
