Psalm 78:56-62
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
B
56 But they tested and rebelled against God Most High,
his decrees they did not observe.
57 They turned disloyal, faithless like their ancestors;
they proved false like a slack bow.
58 They enraged him with their high places,
and with their idols provoked him[a] to jealous anger.(A)
C
59 God heard and grew angry;
he rejected Israel completely.
60 He forsook the shrine at Shiloh,[b](B)
the tent he set up among human beings.
61 He gave up his might into captivity,
his glorious ark into the hands of the foe.(C)
62 God delivered his people to the sword;
he was enraged against his heritage.
