Psalms 78:56-71

56But they tempted and provoked 1GodH430, the Most High, and keptH8104 not his testimonies,57And they drew backH5472 and dealtH898 treacherouslyH898 like their fathersH1: they turnedH2015 like a deceitful bowH7198.58And they provokedH3707 him to angerH3707 with their highH1116 placesH1116, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.59 2GodH430 heardH8085, and was wroth, and greatly abhorred IsraelH3478:60And he forsook the tabernacleH4908 at ShilohH7887, the tentH168 where he had dweltH7931 among menH120,61And gaveH5414 his strengthH5797 into captivityH7628, and his gloryH8597 into the handH3027 of the oppressor;62And deliveredH5462 up his peopleH5971 unto the swordH2719, and was very wroth with his inheritanceH5159:63The fireH784 consumedH398 their youngH970 menH970, and their maidens were not praisedH1984 in [nuptial] song;64Their priestsH3548 fellH5307 by the swordH2719, and their widowsH490 made no lamentation.65Then the LordH136 awokeH3364 as oneH1368 out of sleepH3463, like a mightyH1368 manH1368 that shouteth aloudH7442 by reason of wineH3196;66And he smote his adversaries in the hinder part, and putH5414 them to everlasting reproachH2781.67And he rejectedH3988 the tentH168 of JosephH3130, and choseH977 not the tribeH7626 of EphraimH669,68But choseH977 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063, the mount ZionH6726 which he lovedH157;69And he builtH1129 his sanctuaryH4720 like the heights, like the earthH776 which he hath foundedH3245 for everH5769.70And he choseH977 DavidH1732 his servantH5650, and tookH3947 him from the sheepfolds:71From following the suckling-ewes, he broughtH935 him to feedH7462 JacobH3290 his peopleH5971, and IsraelH3478 his inheritanceH5159.
