Psalm 78:62-71
New International Version
Psalm 78:62-71
New International Version
62 He gave his people over to the sword;(A)
he was furious with his inheritance.(B)
63 Fire consumed(C) their young men,
and their young women had no wedding songs;(D)
64 their priests were put to the sword,(E)
and their widows could not weep.
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,(F)
as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine.
66 He beat back his enemies;
he put them to everlasting shame.(G)
67 Then he rejected the tents of Joseph,
he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;(H)
68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,(I)
Mount Zion,(J) which he loved.
69 He built his sanctuary(K) like the heights,
like the earth that he established forever.
70 He chose David(L) his servant
and took him from the sheep pens;
71 from tending the sheep(M) he brought him
to be the shepherd(N) of his people Jacob,
of Israel his inheritance.
Psalm 78:62-71
King James Version
Psalm 78:62-71
King James Version
62 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
69 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
