Psalms 78:56-72 in American Standard Version (1901)

56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies;
57 But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
59 When God heard this, he was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel;
60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men;
61 And delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the adversary’s hand.
62 He gave his people over also unto the sword, And was wroth with his inheritance.
63 Fire devoured their young men; And their virgins had no marriage-song.
64 Their priests fell by the sword; And their widows made no lamentation.
65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
66 And he smote his adversaries backward: He put them to a perpetual reproach.
67 Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim,
68 But chose the tribe of Judah, The mount Zion which he loved.
69 And he built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he hath established for ever.
70 He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds:
71 From following the ewes that have their young he brought him, To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

Psalms 78:56-72 in Translation for Translators

56 However, the Israeli people rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god, and they did many evil things to see if they could do those things without God punishing them, and they did not obey his commandments.
57 Instead, like their ancestors did, they rebelled against God and ◄were not loyal to/did not faithfully obey► him; they were as unreliable as a crooked arrow that does not go straight SIM.
58 Because they worshiped carved images of their gods on the tops of hills, they caused God to become angry DOU.
59 He saw what they were doing and became very angry, so he rejected the Israeli people.
60 He no longer appeared to them at Shiloh in the tent where he had lived among them.
61 He allowed their enemies to capture the sacred chest, which was the symbol of his power and his glory.
62 Because he was angry with his people, he allowed them to be killed MTY by their enemies.
63 Young men were killed in battles, with the result that the young women had no one to marry.
64 Many priests were killed by their enemies' swords, and ◄the people did not allow the priests' widows/the priests' widows were not allowed► to mourn.
65 Later, it was as though the Lord awoke from sleeping; he was like a strong man who ◄became stimulated/felt that he was strong► by (OR, became sober after) drinking a lot of wine SIM.
66 He pushed their enemies back and caused them to be very ashamed for a long time HYP because they had been defeated.
67 But he did not set up his tent where the people of the tribe of Ephraim lived; he did not choose their area to do that.
68 Instead he chose the area where the tribe of Judah lived; he chose Zion Hill, which he loves.
69 He decided to have his temple built there, high up, like his home in heaven; he caused it to be firm, and intended that his temple would last forever, like the earth.
70 He chose David, who served him faithfully, and took him from the pastures
71 where he was taking care of his father's sheep, and appointed him to be the leader MET of the Israeli people, the people who belong to God.
72 David took care of the Israeli people sincerely and wholeheartedly, and guided them skillfully/wisely.

56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies,
57 but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were twisted like a deceitful bow.
58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.
59 When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel,
60 so that he abandoned the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men,
61 and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary’s hand.
62 He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.
63 Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.
64 Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn’t weep.
65 Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
66 He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.
67 Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, and didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim,
68 But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved.
69 He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.

Psalms 78:56-72 in Bible in Basic English

56 But they were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;
57 Their hearts were turned back and untrue like their fathers; they were turned to one side like a twisted bow.
58 They made him angry with their high places; moving him to wrath with their images.
59 When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;
60 So that he went away from the holy place in Shiloh, the tent which he had put among men;
61 And he let his strength be taken prisoner, and gave his glory into the hands of his hater.
62 He gave his people up to the sword, and was angry with his heritage.
63 Their young men were burned in the fire; and their virgins were not praised in the bride-song.
64 Their priests were put to death by the sword, and their widows made no weeping for them.
65 Then was the Lord like one awaking from sleep, and like a strong man crying out because of wine.
66 His haters were turned back by his blows and shamed for ever.
67 And he put the tent of Joseph on one side, and took not the tribe of Ephraim;
68 But he took the tribe of Judah for himself, and the mountain of Zion, in which he had pleasure.
69 And he made his holy place like the high heaven, like the earth which is fixed by him for ever.
70 He took David to be his servant, taking him from the place of the flocks;
71 From looking after the sheep which were giving milk, he took him to give food to Jacob his people, and to Israel his heritage.
72 So he gave them food with an upright heart, guiding them by the wisdom of his hands.

59 God heard, and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

61 And gave his strength into captivity, and his glory into the hand of the oppressor;
62 And delivered up his people unto the sword, and was very wroth with his inheritance:

Psalms 78:56-72 in Free Bible Version

56 But they provoked God Most High, rebelling against him. They did not follow what he had told them.
57 Just like their forefathers they turned away from God and were unfaithful to him, as twisted as a defective bow.
58 They made him angry with their pagan high places of worship; they made him jealous with their idols.
59 When God heard their worship he became furious and he totally rejected Israel.
60 He abandoned his place at Shiloh, the Tabernacle where he lived among the people.
61 He surrendered the Ark of his power, allowing it to be captured; handing it over into enemy hands.
62 He handed over his people to be slaughtered by the sword; he was furious with his chosen people.
63 Their young men were destroyed by fire; their young women had no wedding songs.
64 Their priests were killed by the sword; their widows were unable to mourn.
65 Then the Lord woke up as if from sleep, as a warrior sobering up from drinking wine.
66 He defeated his enemies, striking them on the back, causing them everlasting shame.
67 He rejected the descendants of Joseph, and did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
68 Instead he chose the tribe of Judah, and Mount Zion which he loves.
69 There he built his sanctuary, high like the heavens, on earth that he made to last forever.
70 He chose his servant David, taking him from the sheep pens,
71 taking him from caring for the sheep and lambs to be a shepherd to the descendants of Jacob—God's special people, Israel.
72 Like a shepherd, he took care of them with sincere devotion, leading them with skillful hands.

56 Yet they tempted and provoked God, the Most High, And kept not his statutes;
57 Like their fathers they were faithless, and turned back; They turned aside, like a deceitful bow.
58 They provoked his anger by their high places, And stirred up his jealousy by their graven images.
59 God saw this, and was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel;
60 So that he forsook the habitation at Shiloh, The tabernacle where he dwelt among men,
61 And delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the hand of the enemy.
62 His own people he gave up to the sword, And was wroth with his own inheritance.
63 Fire consumed their young men, And their maidens did not bewail them.
64 Their priests fell by the sword, And their widows made no lamentation.
65 But at length the Lord awaked as from sleep, As a hero who had been overpowered by wine;
66 He smote his enemies, and drove them back, And covered them with everlasting disgrace.
67 Yet he rejected the tents of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim;
68 But chose the tribe of Judah, The Mount Zion which he loved;
69 Where he built, like the heavens, his sanctuary; Like the earth, which he hath established for ever.
70 And he chose David, his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds;
71 From tending the suckling ewes he brought him To feed Jacob his people, And Israel his inheritance.
72 He fed them with an upright heart, And guided them with skilful hands.

58 Their shrines stirred him to anger, their idols moved him to jealousy.
59 When God heard of this, he was furious, and he spurned Israel utterly.
60 He abandoned his home in Shiloh, the tent he had pitched amongst people.
61 He gave his strength up to captivity, his glory to the hands of the foe.
62 He gave his people to the sword, he was furious with his own.
63 Fire devoured their young men, and their maidens had no marriage-song.
64 Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows could not weep.
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a warrior flushed with wine;
66 and he beat back his foes, putting them to perpetual scorn.
67 He disowned the tent of Joseph, he rejected the tribe of Ephraim;
68 but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loves.
69 And he built like the heights his sanctuary, like the earth which he founded forever.
70 And he chose David his servant, taking him from the sheepfolds.

69 And he built like the heights his sanctuary, like the earth which he founded forever.
70 And he chose David his servant, taking him from the sheepfolds.
71 From the mother-ewes he brought him, to be shepherd to Jacob his people, and to Israel his inheritance.
72 With upright heart did he shepherd them, and with skilful hands did he guide them.

Psalms 78:56-72 in Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

56 And they tempted, and wrathed the high God; and they kept not his witnessings.
57 And they turned away themselves, and they kept not covenant; as their fathers they were turned into a shrewd bow.
58 They stirred him into ire in their little hills; and they stirred him to indignation in their graven images.
59 God heard, and forsook; and brought to nought Israel greatly.
60 And he putted or put away the tabernacle of Shiloh; his tabernacle in which he dwelled among men.
61 And he betook the virtue of them into captivity; and the fairness of them into the hands of the enemy.
62 And he enclosed altogether his people in sword; and he despised his heritage.
63 Fire ate the young men of them; and the virgins of them were not bewailed or bewept.
64 The priests of them fell down by sword; and the widows of them were not bewept.
65 And the Lord was raised, as sleeping; as mighty greatly filled or drunk of wine.
66 And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts; he gave to them ever-lasting shame.
67 And he putted or put away the tabernacle of Joseph; and he chose not the lineage of Ephraim.
68 But he chose the lineage of Judah; he chose the hill of Zion, which he loved.
69 And he as an unicorn builded his holy place; in the land, which he founded into worlds.
70 And he chose David his servant, and took him up from the flocks of sheep;
71 he took him from behind sheep with lambs. To feed Jacob his servant; and Israel his heritage.
72 And he fed them in the inno-cence of his heart; and he led them forth in the understandings of his hands.

Psalms 78:56-72 in Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling (Enhanced)

56 And they tempted, and wrathed the high God; and they kept not his witnessings. (And still they tempted, and angered, the Most High God; and they did not obey his teachings, or his commands.)
57 And they turned away themselves, and they kept not covenant; as their fathers, (they) were turned into a shrewd bow. (And they turned themselves away or And they rebelled, and they did not obey the covenant; like their forefathers, they were bent like a crooked bow.)
58 They stirred him into ire in their little hills; and they stirred him to indignation in their graven images. (They stirred him to anger with their high places, or their hill shrines; and they stirred him to indignation with their carved images, or their idols.)
59 God heard, and forsook; and brought to nought Israel greatly. (God saw and heard all of this; and then he abandoned them, and he brought down Israel into nothing.)
60 And he putted away the tabernacle of Shiloh; his tabernacle in which he dwelled among men. (And he deserted his Tabernacle at Shiloh; the Tent in which he lived among his people.)
61 And he betook the virtue of them into captivity; and the fairness of them into the hands of the enemy. (And he delivered the symbol of his strength, that is, the Ark of the Covenant, into captivity; yea, the symbol of his beauty, or of his glory, into the hands of the enemy.)
62 And he closed together his people in sword; and he despised his heritage. (And he altogether ended his people by the sword; and he despised his inheritance.)
63 Fire ate the young men of them; and the virgins of them were not bewailed/were not bewept. (The fire ate up their young men; and their virgins did not bewail them or and their virgins did not weep for them.)
64 The priests of them fell down by sword; and the widows of them were not bewept. (Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows did not weep for them.)
65 And the Lord was raised, as sleeping; as mighty greatly filled of wine. (Then the Lord was raised up; like one who had been sleeping, like a mighty man excited by wine.)
66 And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts; he gave to them everlasting shame. (And he struck his enemies on their backsides; yea, he gave them up to everlasting shame.)
67 And he putted away the tabernacle of Joseph; and he chose not the lineage of Ephraim. (And he rejected the house of Joseph; and he chose not the tribe of Ephraim.)
68 But he chose the lineage of Judah; he chose the hill of Zion, which he loved. (But he chose the tribe of Judah; and he chose Mount Zion, which he loved.)
69 And he as an unicorn builded his holy place; in the land, which he founded into worlds. (And he built his holy place like his home in heaven or And he built his holy place as high as the heavens; and he founded it like the earth, to last forever.)
70 And he chose David his servant, and took him up from the flocks of sheep; (And he chose David to be his servant, and took him away from the flocks of sheep;)
71 he took him from behind sheep with lambs. To feed Jacob his servant; and Israel his heritage. (yea, he brought him out from following behind the sheep with their lambs, to feed his people Jacob; yea, his inheritance Israel.)
72 And he fed them in the innocence of his heart; and he led them forth in the understandings of his hands. (And David fed them from the innocence of his heart; and he led them forth by the skillfulness of his hands.)

Psalms 78:56-72 in Young's Literal Translation

56 And they tempt and provoke God Most High, And His testimonies have not kept.
57 And they turn back, And deal treacherously like their fathers, They have been turned like a deceitful bow,
58 And make Him angry with their high places, And with their graven images make Him zealous,
59 God hath heard, and sheweth Himself wroth. And kicketh exceedingly against Israel.
60 And He leaveth the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent He had placed among men,
61 And He giveth His strength to captivity, And His beauty into the hand of an adversary,
62 And delivereth up to the sword His people, And with His inheritance shewed Himself angry.
63 His young men hath fire consumed, And His virgins have not been praised.
64 His priests by the sword have fallen, And their widows weep not.
65 And the Lord waketh as a sleeper, As a mighty one crying aloud from wine.
66 And He smiteth His adversaries backward, A reproach age-during He hath put on them,
67 And He kicketh against the tent of Joseph, And on the tribe of Ephraim hath not fixed.
68 And He chooseth the tribe of Judah, With mount Zion that He loved,
69 And buildeth His sanctuary as a high place, Like the earth, He founded it to the age.
70 And He fixeth on David His servant, And taketh him from the folds of a flock,
71 From behind suckling ones He hath brought him in, To rule over Jacob His people, And over Israel His inheritance.
72 And he ruleth them according to the integrity of his heart, And by the skilfulness of his hands leadeth them!
