Psalms 78:62-72

⁶²And hee gaue vp his people to the sworde, and was angrie with his inheritance.

⁶³The fire deuoured their chosen men, and their maides were not praised.

⁶⁴Their Priestes fell by the sworde, and their widowes lamented not.

⁶⁵But the Lord awaked as one out of sleepe, and as a strong man that after his wine crieth out,

⁶⁶And smote his enemies in the hinder parts, and put them to a perpetuall shame.

⁶⁷Yet he refused the tabernacle of Ioseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:

⁶⁸But chose the tribe of Iudah, and mount Zion which he loued.

⁶⁹And he built his Sanctuarie as an high palace, like the earth, which he stablished for euer.

⁷⁰He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the shepefolds.

⁷¹Euen from behinde the ewes with yong brought he him to feede his people in Iaakob, and his inheritance in Israel.

⁷²So he fed them according to the simplicitie of his heart, and guided them by the discretion of his hands.
