Psalm 78:65-72
New Living Translation
Psalm 78:65-72
New Living Translation
65 Then the Lord rose up as though waking from sleep,
like a warrior aroused from a drunken stupor.
66 He routed his enemies
and sent them to eternal shame.
67 But he rejected Joseph’s descendants;
he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
68 He chose instead the tribe of Judah,
and Mount Zion, which he loved.
69 There he built his sanctuary as high as the heavens,
as solid and enduring as the earth.
70 He chose his servant David,
calling him from the sheep pens.
71 He took David from tending the ewes and lambs
and made him the shepherd of Jacob’s descendants—
God’s own people, Israel.
72 He cared for them with a true heart
and led them with skillful hands.

Psalm 78:65-72
New International Version
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,(A)
as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine.
66 He beat back his enemies;
he put them to everlasting shame.(B)
67 Then he rejected the tents of Joseph,
he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;(C)
68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,(D)
Mount Zion,(E) which he loved.
69 He built his sanctuary(F) like the heights,
like the earth that he established forever.
70 He chose David(G) his servant
and took him from the sheep pens;
71 from tending the sheep(H) he brought him
to be the shepherd(I) of his people Jacob,
of Israel his inheritance.
72 And David shepherded them with integrity of heart;(J)
with skillful hands he led them.
