Psalm 78:69-71

New International Reader's Version

⁶⁹ There he built his holy place as secure as the heavens.
    He built it to last forever, like the earth.
⁷⁰ He chose his servant David.
    He took him from the sheep pens.
⁷¹ He brought him from tending sheep
    to be the shepherd of his people Jacob.
    He made him the shepherd of Israel, his special people.
