Context of Psalms 78:67
65Then the Lord rose up as though waking from sleep, like a warrior aroused from a drunken stupor. 66He routed his enemies and sent them to eternal shame. But he rejected Joseph’s descendants; he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim. 68He chose instead the tribe of Judah, and Mount Zion, which he loved. 69There he built his sanctuary as high as the heavens, as solid and enduring as the earth.
