Psalms 78:65-72

65Then the Lord 1awoke as if from sleep, Like a 2warrior 3overcome by wine.66He 4 5drove His adversaries backward; He put on them an everlasting reproach.67He also 6rejected the tent of Joseph, And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,68But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount 7Zion which He loved.69And He 8built His sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which He has founded forever.70He also 9chose David His servant And took him from the sheepfolds;71From 10 11the care of the 12ewes 13with suckling lambs He brought him To 14shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel 15His inheritance.72So he shepherded them according to the 16integrity of his heart, And guided them with his skillful hands.
