Context of Psalms 78:60
58For they provoked Him to anger with their high places, And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images. 59When God heard this, He was furious, And greatly abhorred Israel, So that He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent He had placed among men, 61And delivered His strength into captivity, And His glory into the enemy’s hand. 62He also gave His people over to the sword, And was furious with His inheritance.
