Psalms 78:57-69

⁵⁷And they turn back, And deal treacherously like their fathers, They have been turned like a deceitful bow,

⁵⁸And make Him angry with their high places, And with their graven images make Him zealous,

⁵⁹God hath heard, and sheweth Himself wroth. And kicketh exceedingly against Israel.

⁶⁰And He leaveth the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent He had placed among men,

⁶¹And He giveth His strength to captivity, And His beauty into the hand of an adversary,

⁶²And delivereth up to the sword His people, And with His inheritance shewed Himself angry.

⁶³His young men hath fire consumed, And His virgins have not been praised.

⁶⁴His priests by the sword have fallen, And their widows weep not.

⁶⁵And the Lord waketh as a sleeper, As a mighty one crying aloud from wine.

⁶⁶And He smiteth His adversaries backward, A reproach age-during He hath put on them,

⁶⁷And He kicketh against the tent of Joseph, And on the tribe of Ephraim hath not fixed.

⁶⁸And He chooseth the tribe of Judah, With mount Zion that He loved,

⁶⁹And buildeth His sanctuary as a high place, Like the earth, He founded it to the age.
