Psalms [Praises] 78:68-72

⁶⁸But chose the tribe of Judah Praised, Mount Zion Mountain ridge, Marking which he 'ahav ·affectionately loved·.

⁶⁹He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.

⁷⁰He also chose David Beloved his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;

⁷¹from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob Supplanter, his people, and Israel God prevails, his inheritance.

⁷²So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
