Psalms 78:62-71

⁶²He gave his people up to the sword, and was angry with his heritage.

⁶³Their young men were burned in the fire; and their virgins were not praised in the bride-song.

⁶⁴Their priests were put to death by the sword, and their widows made no weeping for them.

⁶⁵Then was the Lord like one awaking from sleep, and like a strong man crying out because of wine.

⁶⁶His haters were turned back by his blows and shamed for ever.

⁶⁷And he put the tent of Joseph on one side, and took not the tribe of Ephraim;

⁶⁸But he took the tribe of Judah for himself, and the mountain of Zion, in which he had pleasure.

⁶⁹And he made his holy place like the high heaven, like the earth which is fixed by him for ever.

⁷⁰He took David to be his servant, taking him from the place of the flocks;

⁷¹From looking after the sheep which were giving milk, he took him to give food to Jacob his people, and to Israel his heritage.
