65But at length the Lord awaked as from sleep, As a hero who had been overpowered by wine;
66He smote his enemies, and drove them back, And covered them with everlasting disgrace.
67Yet he rejected the tents of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim;
68But chose the tribe of Judah, The Mount Zion which he loved;
69Where he built, like the heavens, his sanctuary; Like the earth, which he hath established for ever.
70And he chose David, his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds;
71From tending the suckling ewes he brought him To feed Jacob his people, And Israel his inheritance.
