Psalms 78:65-72

65But then the Lord awoke from his sleep; he was like a warrior in a drunken rage.

66He drove his enemies back; he made them a permanent target for insults.

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

68He chose the tribe of Judah, and Mount Zion, which he loves.

69He made his sanctuary as enduring as the heavens above; as secure as the earth, which he established permanently.

70He chose David, his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds.

71He took him away from following the mother sheep, and made him the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and of Israel, his chosen nation.

72David cared for them with pure motives; he led them with skill.
