PSALMS 78:55-64

⁵⁵He drove out the nations also before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁶Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and kept not his testimonies;

⁵⁷But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁸For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

⁵⁹When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

⁶⁰So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

⁶¹And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the adversary’s hand.

⁶²He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.

⁶³Fire devoured their young men; and their maidens had no marriage-song.

⁶⁴Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
