Psalms 78:69-72

⁶⁹He 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.

⁷⁰He chose David, who served him faithfully, and took him from the pastures

⁷¹where 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.

⁷²David took care of the Israeli people sincerely and wholeheartedly, and guided them skillfully/wisely.
